A levy is imposed by the British authorities on sugar and on the sugar content of manufactured goods imported into Britain, regardless of the country from which the imports come. It was decided by one of my predecessors in 1955 that no useful purpose would be served by seeking to have imports from this country treated exceptionally and the question has not since been raised.
