HC Deb 17 February 1932 vol 261 cc1651-2W
Sir V. HENDERSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of the Government that the existing duty on imported petrol and similar oils shall still apply to such imports from the Empire after 1st March?

Major ELLIOT

As hydrocarbon oils are goods chargeable with an existing duty of Customs, they will not be affected by the proposals in the Import Duties Bill, which are what I presume my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind.
