Debate on Protectionism

[Vilhelm Benkern]

Mr Speaker, the Right Honourable Secretary of the Treasury has unilaterally made an important economic decision about our nation and it should be debated in this House. Do the Brettish Isles want or need tarriffs on foreign imports? Our economy is in its utter infancy and does not need barriers to foreign investment opportunities, especially from other large nations such as Alexandria and Shireroth. Let us be done with tariffs and instead subsidise the entrepeneurial efforts of businessmen both native and foreign to establish our status as a commercial hub of Micras.

I yield the floor.

[Ri Mhor]

The motion by the Rt. Hon. Lord Eastwood-Hart doth be acknowledged.

Debate on the topic "Protectionism: Tariffs" doth now begineth and shall lasteth 24 hours.

[Vilhelm Benkern]

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

Will the Secretary please bring himself to this House to explain and justify his new policy, or if he cannot, then rescind it until he has a strong reason for such a serious move?

[Ri Mhor]

The debate period on this topic now hath ended.

It doth appear Minister Lange hath reversed the tariff, as made in his public statement here:

Unless there doth be a motion for further debate, this matter shall be considered tabled.
