MR. GRIEVE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he had any objection to alter the day for the abolition of the Sugar Duties from the 21st of May to the 21st of June?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, I named a day, of which I spoke yesterday, for reducing or abolishing the duties on raw and refined sugar respectively; but of course, without having had an opportunity of any communication with the gentlemen connected with the trade.

Gentleman will repeat his Question.
