§ MR. W. CARTWRIGHTasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he would cause to be presented to Parliament a Return for the year 1878 from the Customs, detailing the quantities and the respective alcoholic strengths of the wines imported from Spain and Portugal into this country during the course of that year?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERSir, I have made inquiry on this subject, and find that the Return could be made out; but it would take a good deal of time, and be rather expensive. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman would allow me to confer with him privately.
