HC Deb 13 February 1933 vol 274 cc639-40W
Mr. MALLALIEU

asked the President of the Board of Trade on what goods ex- ported from this country to Canada the duties payable on importation are higher than those exported to Canada from other countries?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

In no case are the rates of Canadian Customs duties on United Kingdom goods higher than those on similar foreign goods. In a number of cases, however, the total duties levied on United Kingdom goods, including the exchange dumping duty, may exceed the total duties levied on similar foreign goods. It is not practicable to enumerate these goods, since the position varies according as the rate of exchange varies.
