IRISH EXPORTS
Preference in Britain Still LOSS HAD BEEN FEARED (Rec. October 26, 7.15 p.m.) London, Oct. 26. The Ottawa Agreements Bill, now before the House of Commons, provides that the Irish Free State will continue to enjoy preference, both under the older duties and the new Ottawa duties, as long as the British special duties on Irish goods for the recovery of annuity moneys remain in force. Lobby correspondents indicate that as no agreement was made with the .Free State at Ottawa many believed that there would be no preference for Irish goods after the date of expiry of the present duties, November 15. In the House of Commons, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, in answer to a question, said that the Irish Free State had withheld £1,750,000 to July 15, when Britain’s special duties came into operation, and £564,000 between July 15 and October 15. Revenue from the special duties for the latter period was £503,000.
