Mr. Skinnard
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when a reduction of the present high duty on cotton piece goods in Tanganyika may be expected.
Mr. Rees-Williams
The duties on cotton piece goods in Tanganyika are identical with those in force in Kenya and Uganda. A wartime surcharge of 10 per cent. was recently removed. In view of the revenue requirements of the territory, no further reduction is at present contemplated.
