HC Deb 14 June 1938 vol 337 cc49-50W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take steps to secure a rebate of the import duty on material imported to be used, and in fact used in the manufacture of auxiliary machinery for ships, whether or not work in the form of machining, or other work, is expended thereon, the import duty at present being refunded where the parts are imported solely for purposes of being assembled?

Mr. Stanley

If the cases Which the hon. and learned Member has in mind are not covered by the existing Drawback Order, it is open to the interests concerned to ported from the United Kingdom in trade with Japan (including Formosa) during the years 1936 and 1937:

apply to the Import Duties Advisory Committee for consideration to be given to the question of formulating a scheme of drawback under Section 9 of the Finance Act, 1932.
