HC Deb 21 June 1886 vol 307 c70

In reply to Mr. KIMBER (Wandsworth),

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (MR. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)

said, that he thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer or the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had stated the other night, in answer to a Question, that the Government had taken no stops towards reducing the Wines Duties until the Spanish Cortes had performed their part of the agreement by placing this country in the most favoured nation position. When that was done the Government were ready to perform their part of the agreement.

MR. LAWSON (St. Pancras, W.)

observed, that the statement of the Secretary to the Treasury would give satisfaction to a very worthy and deserving body of men.

Motion agreed to.

Bill read the third time, and passed.
