§ MR. STANSFELDsaid, he was desirous of taking that opportunity to put a question to the right hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of which he had not the opportunity of giving notice, but which was one of considerable interest. That House had passed a Bill repealing the Excise duty upon paper, and a question had arisen as to 1365 the probable fate of that Bill in "another place." Her Majesty's Government bail entered into treaty arrangements with the Government of the Emperor of the French with reference to certain Customs duties, and amongst those duties was included the Customs duty upon paper. The interest of the question which he wished to put would be evident when he read its terms. He wished to ask the right hon. Gentleman—in case the other House of Parliament insists upon maintaining the Excise Duty upon Paper, what will be the position of the question of the Import Duty on Foreign Paper, of which it is intended to propose the repeal?
