§ MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can now see his way to frame Regulations to allow the importation duty free of tea unfit for human food, with precautions to prevent its getting into the market, for the purpose of the production of coffein, a chemical industry which our present Custom House Regulations drives completely to Germany?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)The subject is now under reference to the Board of Customs. The firm who are seeking such a facility have undertaken to furnish further particulars desired by that Department; and, in the meantime, no definite answer can be given.
