HC Deb 12 March 1860 vol 157 cc342-3
SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

said, he wished to ask in what order the Customs Resolutions will be taken?

MR. KER SEYMER

said, he wanted to know when the Wine Licences will be brought on?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, that he should not proceed, in Committee of Customs, with the Resolutions touching the Drawback on Wine or the imposition of minor taxes until Thursday or Friday at the soonest. He could not at present fix a day for the discussion of the Wine Licences with a view to a decision, because be thought, if it were necessary to take a preliminary Resolution, it would better to take it in a very general form, and to allow the discussion to come on upon the Bill founded upon it, which would include the Police Regulations and other matters, which, though necessary to the understanding of the sub- ject, could hardly be expressed in a Resolution. That Bill was already prepared, and he hoped to lay it upon the Table tomorrow.
