He said tariff reform would not replace the Budget, noting ten percent on foreign goods would raise only £6,000,000 of £16,000,000 after cuts, with rest from food taxes. Duke of Devonshire, at Egbaston, warned Lords should scrutinize Finance Bill before proposals become law and allow the country to voice its views.
