ENAMELLED WARE
A SAFEGUARDING DUTY. REIMPOSITION IN BRITAIN. (British Official Wireless.) (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, June 10. (Received June 11, at 5.5 p.m.) The House of Commons yesterday passed a resolution imposing a safeguarding duty of 25 per cent, for five years on enamelled ware. Sir Phillip Cunliffe-Lister (president of the Board of Trade) recalled that the original duty had been imposed in 1922 by Mr Lloyd George’s Government. When it lapsed in 1924 foreign imports had increased, but not to such an extent as to persuade the Safeguarding Committee in 1926 to advise reimposition of the duty. A fresh claim before the identical committee and now succeeded because new evidence, including statistics of the census of production, had been adduced showing that six out of 18 firms in this country had been compelled to close down.
