HC Deb 19 December 1933 vol 284 c1122W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider the imposition of different port dues in this country upon foreign ships subsidised by their respective Governments and foreign ships not so subsidised and British ships?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion, bearing in mind that in the case of the treaties with America, Italy, Japan and Germany, 12 months' notice of denunciation would be necessary.
