HC Deb 27 June 1950 vol 476 cc201-2W
84. Mr. Prescott

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the Australian Government has increased the British preferential tariff from l½d. per square yard to 1s. 6d. per square yard on woven piece goods containing more than 50 per cent. of rayon by weight; what is the attitude of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom to this increase; and what representations they have made.

94. Mr. Nally

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement as to the reply he has received from the Government of Australia to his representations on the subject of the proposed new duties to be imposed upon rayon goods imported into the Dominion.

Mr. Bottomley

I regret that at the moment I have nothing to add to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave to similar Questions on Thursday last.
