§ SIR H. VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if, having given careful consideration, according to promise, to all the circumstances advanced in favour of the relief of colonial wine from the new duty, he is now in a position to announce the decision of Her Majesty's Government upon the question?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)I thought I had already made it clear that we did not feel able to entertain the proposal to exempt colonial wines from the new duty.
§ SIR H. VINCENTsaid he would call attention to the matter in Committee.
