HC Deb 07 April 1884 vol 286 c1791
MR. BIDDELL

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, in the event of his not greatly reducing the cost of a labourer's brewing licence, he would allow him to take out a half-yearly licence?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)

Sir, in reply to the hon. Gentleman, I have to say that the Budget will be so soon brought forward, that I am unwilling to answer any Questions about the Revenue until my proposals are before the House. I shall be happy to answer his Question after the Budget, if he thinks fit then to renew it.
