§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the duties of Customs payable under section one of The Finance Act, 1898, on manufactured tobacco shall, on and after the twentieth day of April, nineteen hundred and four, be increased, in the case of cigars, by six pence per pound, and in the case of cigarettes by one shilling per pound, and the duties payable under the same section on un-manufactured tobacco shall, on and after the same date, be increased, in the case of stripped tobacco, by three pence per per pound":—(Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer.)

§ Main Question again proposed.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)said that this tax was one in which he had always taken considerable interest, and in regard to which he had year a ter year made representations to the right 660 hon. Gentleman's predecessors in office. The present proposal was, to a considerable extent, identical with a suggestion which he made on 26th March, 1900, as recorded in Hansard. Possibly that was the source from which the right hon. Gentleman derived his inspiration, but at 661 that time the suggestion was received with derision. So far as the present proposal went it was a good one, but it ought to have been accompanied by a remission of duty on the ordinary common tobacco used by the masses of the people. He would have been in favour of imposing all the taxation necessary on the expensive forms of tobacco used by the wealthy people who were able to bear the additional impost without feeling the burden. He asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider whether he could not make some reduction in the tax upon the tobacco of the masses of the people and increase the tax upon the expensive forms of tobacco used by the wealthy people. By doing that he would meet the views of many hon. Members upon the Opposition side of the House. If he did not do so, he did not see how the right hon. Gentleman could expect his proposals to be acquiesced in by hon. Members from Ireland. The tobacco tax fell heavily upon the people of Ireland, where they had a good many tobacco manufacturers, and they would be severely hit by this proposal to tax the common kind of tobacco. He suggested that they should be relieved at the expense of foreign imported cigars and cigarettes. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had already gone some distance in that direction, but not far enough, and he ought to give some further remission of the duty on the common kind of tobacco which was used so largely by the working people of this country and also of Ireland. He had only intervened in this debate to show that occasionally he was right in the House of Commons. He looked forward to the day when there would be sufficient tobacco pro- 662 duced in Ireland not only to meet the demands of Ireland, but also to a very large extent the requirements of the people of this country. When that day arrived, he would be in favour of taxing even to a greater degree foreign imported tobacco. The Government had promised to encourage tobacco growing by offering a remission of the tax on tobacco grown in Ireland for the next five years, and that was very good so far as it went. He hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give further consideration to the suggestions and speeches he had made from time to time on this subject. He had no doubt that as the right hon. Gentleman became more familiar with the tax on tobacco he would see more clearly the justice of the position he had taken up and insist upon following up in a more liberal manner the suggestions which he had made from time to time.
§ SIR BRAMPTON GURDON (Norfolk, N.)asked if the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to put a corresponding Excise duty upon home-made cigarettes, because they were those nasty things which little boys smoked, and this was a practice which he was sure all Members of the House would like to see stopped.
§ * MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINsaid he proposed to treat the additional duty on imported cigarettes exactly as the additional duty on imported cigars was treated by his right hon. friend the Member for West Bristol. He did not propose to put any further duty on cigarettes manufactured in this country. The tobacco from which they were manufactured had already paid import duty. The hon. Member for East Clare had pointed out that four years ago he endeavoured to secure the adoption of 663 the suggestions now made. Perhaps if the hon. Member would give him his continuous and loyal support for a further period of four years he might be able to follow him further on the path of reform.
§ MR. ROBSON (South Shields)said the House ought to make a careful note of the admission just made by the right hon. Gentleman. It had been said again
§ and again that the right hon. Gentleman's proposals were on the old fiscal lines and that there was nothing about them in the nature of protection. They had now a distinct admission that in this Budget they had for the first time introduced a distinctively protective tariff.
