HC Deb 15 November 1939 vol 353 c735W
Sir A. Baillie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the impossibility of obtaining adequate supplies of British cod-liver oil from Newfoundland and other parts of the Empire, he will consider removing the tax on Norwegian cod-liver oil?

Captain Crookshank

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Food has under consideration the question of ensuring proper supplies of cod-liver oil, and, as at present advised, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer sees no reason to contemplate any change in the import duty on Norwegian cod-liver oil.
