HC Deb 10 February 1955 vol 536 c249W
94. Mr. T. Reid

asked the President of the Board of Trade in what countries in the Commonwealth and Empire export duties are levied on exports to Great Britain at present; and in what cases these duties are effectively borne by the producer or exporter, and in what cases are they passed on to the British consumer.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Export duties or levies are imposed in all parts of the overseas Commonwealth, except Canada and a few of the Colonies. I am afraid that it would be quite impracticable to attempt to answer the last part of the hon. Member's Question.
