§ Mr. Albert Robertsasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to increase the import duty on a pack of cards, which at present stands at ½d. per pack, in view of the fact that British exporters have to pay duties up to 100 per cent. on this item in certain cases.
§ Mr. DellNo. As a result of the Kennedy Round, under which other countries reduced their duties on many of our exports, the duty is bound against any increase, and will be reduced. Apart from certain less-developed countries, other countries in general have duties of much less than 100 per cent. on packs of cards.
