HC Deb 15 February 1933 vol 274 cc1034-5W
Sir G. HAMILTON

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the value of eggs imported from foreign countries in 1932, he will take steps to amend the Horticultural Imports (Emergency Duties) Act so as to remove eggs and poultry from the purview of the Import Duties Act and to impose a special duty of 33⅓ per cent, on imports of eggs and poultry?

Major ELLIOT

I would remind my hon. Friend that the Horticultural Products (Emergency Customs Duties) Act, 1931, expired in December last.
