CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL-STORING OF GRAIN AND RICE.

HC Deb 14 July 1885 vol 299 cc658-9

MR. HICKS

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will consider of the propriety of extending the provisions of Section 6 of the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, with its subsections, to the storing and removing of raw grain and rice?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHE-QUEE

The provisions in Section 6 are intended for a particular object—namely, to check frauds committed by dissolving sugar and syrup without entry or charge. To extend these provisions to the storing of raw grain and rice would be a very different matter.
