HC Deb 20 May 1931 vol 252 c1996W
Sir J. REYNOLDS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will sanction a rebate on British shipping passing through the Suez Canal from the moneys received on the Government shares by way of dividend on the ground that a reduction in dues as advocated by this country would have automatically reduced such dividend?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I would refer the hon. Baronet to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for the Lewes Division (Rear-Admiral Beamish) on 1st April.
