HC Deb 25 May 1871 vol 206 c1262
LORD EUSTACE CECIL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, in regard to a large quanity of adulterated tea lately allowed to pass through the Custom House, and so thrown upon the London market, any regulations exist which makes it the duty of Custom House officers to examine and detain all suspected goods in bond; and, if not, whether he will take steps to issue such regulations, so that some check may be put to a practice which inevitably leads to an open breach of the Law?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Will the noble Lord be kind enough to repeat his Question to-morrow?
