§ Mr. Byersasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the increased duties on English hand tools imposed by the Australian Government; and what representations are being made to the Australian authorities with regard to them.
§ Mr. H. WilsonYes. The by-law provision for duty-free entry of secateurs and parts has recently been cancelled by the Australian authorities without reference to the Tariff Board under a new procedure, against which I have caused representations to be made to the Australian Government.
