HC Deb 14 July 1885 vol 299 c660
MR. CLARE READ (for Mr. BIRK-BECK)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he will rectify the omission in the Customs and Inland Revenue (No. 2) Bill of the Clause relating to half-yearly brewing licences?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

, in reply, said, it was not to be understood that the omission of the clause would prevent the House from dealing with the subject, which he wished to consider before the Committee stage of the Bill was reached. He was not satisfied with the provisions of the clause, which had been framed by his Predecessor, and hoped to be enabled to submit another proposal.
