(THE SUN’S Parliamentary Reporter) - PARLIAMENT BLDGS., Tuesday. The primage duty however, Mr. Sullivan thought, was one that should have» been wiped out instead of doubled. The doubling of the duty showed the danger of keeping such legislation on the Statute Book. He spoke of the time when some impecunious Minister of Finance in the future might avail himself of similar legislation. Voices: Labour. Mr. Sullivan (with a. grin): Yes, and a very good Minister of Finance he’ll be. There will be a Labour Minister of Finance soon, and he’ll have more consideration for the general masses of the public. He suggested that there should be an increased duty on American motorcars instead.
