HC Deb 13 March 1952 vol 497 c145W
14. Mr. Grimond

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will abolish the tariff on imported fertilisers.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I am always prepared to consider any application which may be made to me for the adjustment of tariff rates. In considering such applications, it is, of course, necessary to take account of the interests of both producing and consuming industries.
