SAFEGUARDING DUTY
BRITISH ENAMELLED WARE British Official Wireless RUGBY, Sunday. In the House of Commons yesterday a resolution was passed imposing a safeguarding duty of 25 per cent, for five years on enamelled ware. Sir Philip Cunliflfe-Uster, president of the Board of Trade, recalled the fact 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 a reimposition of the duty.
A fresh claim before the same committee had now succeeded because new evidence, including statstics of the census of production. had been adduced. These shewed that six out of is firms in England had been compelled to close down their works.
