Radium Bromide

Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS
asked the President of the Board of Trade whether radium bromide is now subject to an importation duty under the Safeguarding of Industries Act; and, if so, whether he will take steps to remit this duty in the case of all radium for therapeutic purposes?

Mr. BALDWIN
The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have no power to take the action suggested in the latter part of the question.
