ABSTRACT
To deal first with the preserved article, we have considerable imports of condensed milk. In 1908 £62,000 worth of unsweetened and £1,545,000 worth of sweetened condensed milk was imported. The sweetened article has to pay import duty on account not of the milk, but of the sugar which is in it, under the Tory sugar tax, half of which the Free Trade Government has remitted. Under the Chamberlain programme the milk also would be taxed at 5 per cent. (for a beginning).
