HC Deb 02 May 1890 vol 344 cc10-1
MR. AGG-GARDNER (Cheltenham)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Clause 9 of the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill is intended to prohibit any person to whom an Excise licence is granted from carrying on the trade or business mentioned in the licence in various premises, or whether a person will be permitted to conduct a business in more than one set of premises provided he takes out a licence for each set?

MR. GOSCHEN

The clause is not intended to prohibit a person from carrying on an Excise trade in various premises. It merely requires a licence to be taken out for each sot of premises in which such a trade is carried on.
