HC Deb 14 March 1859 vol 153 cc94-5
MR. HADFIELD

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to establish Inland Bonding Warehouses in England and other parts of the United Kingdom.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, in reply to the inquiry of the hon. Member, relative to the establishing of Inland Bonding Warehouses in the large manufacturing and commercial towns of England I have to state that the question had for some time been under the consideration of the Government, subject to its being referred to the Board of Customs, who have sent in a Report within the last day or two, but which I have not yet had time to read.
