§ Mr. Hollisasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will control the importation of foreign honey at such times as the supply of domestic honey is sufficient for the market.
§ Mr. WebbI have been asked to reply. There is already a duty on imports of foreign honey, and I do not think that it would be in the general interest to place any further restriction on these imports, which, together with imports from the Commonwealth, meet a real demand from people who cannot afford to pay the higher prices commanded by home-produced honey.
