§ The House went into Committee on the Spirit Licences (Excise) Bill.
910§ The Chancellor of the Exchequerbrought up a clause for the purpose of suspending the operation of a clause which had been introduced by a right hon. Gentleman (Mr. Shaw) on the third reading of the Spirit Licences (Ireland) Bill, prohibiting grocers from retailing spirits in Ireland. He gave no opinion as to the right or wrong of the clause, he only wished for Parliament to have an opportunity of reconsidering the question.
§ The clause agreed to, and the Bill passed through the Committee.
