Alleged Error in the Corn Bill Sparks Trade appeal
The Lord Mayor consulted corn traders after Mr Villiers raised concerns over an alleged error in the Corn Bill. Deputations from the Corn Exchange warned the duty structure misaligns with the intended averages for rye beans and peas, potentially harming producers. They cited the act's intent to tie duties to barley averages and urged corrective action, while authorities pledged inquiry and possible remedy. The exchange noted abnormal duties during certain months could distort trade.
