HC Deb 20 June 1890 vol 345 c1473
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S. E.)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether grocers' licences are included in the Local Taxation (Customs and Excise) Bill?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE, Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

Perhaps I may be allowed to answer the question. Grocers' licences are not included.

MAJOR RASCH

Are other off-licences included?

MR. RITCHIE

No; there are no off-licences included in the Bill at all; but there are Amendments on the Paper asking the House to insert off-licences in the suspensory clauses of the Bill.
