HC Deb 05 March 1900 vol 80 cc153-9

3. Motion made, and Question proposed, "That in addition to the duty of excise now payable for every gallon computed at proof of spirits distilled in the United Kingdom there shall on and after the sixth day of March, nineteen hundred, until the first day of August, nineteen hundred and one, be charged, levied, and paid the following duty (that is to say):—

£ s. d.
For every gallon of spirits computed at proof 0 0 6

and so in proportion for any less quantity."—(Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer.)

*MAJOR JAMESON (Clare, W.)

In moving that the additional duty should be 4d. instead of 6d., some remarks fell from the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he was speaking on this subject, and also from the hon. Member for Northampton, which are not correct. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that large industries like Guinness and the Dublin Distillers Company, Limited, could well bear additional taxation. That is not so, so far as the Dublin Distillers Company, Limited, is concerned. The whisky produced by us is made from barley grown in Ireland, and when they added to the whisky tax, they placed a tax on the agricultural industry of the country. The hon. Member for Northampton stated that tea was more heavily taxed than spirits. He forgets altogether that one pound of tea would make a good many gallons, so that very far from the tea paying twenty times more than whisky, as a matter of fact, tea would pay twenty times less than whisky, even with the present taxation.

Amendment proposed— To leave out the words 'six pence,' and insert the words 'four pence.'"—(Major Jameson.)

Question proposed, "That the words 'six pence' stand part of the Question."

MR. T. M. HEALY

recognised that some approach had been made to the Irish Members by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as regarded the removal of the tobacco restrictions. He had always been of opinion that in dealing with the English, though a peculiar people, there was more to be got out of them by a reasonable than an unreasonable attitude. He would remind his hon. friend (Major Jameson) that while they might take a division by way of registering their protest, the stages of the Bill would afford opportunities for discussion. The hon. Member remembered the admirable speeches made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1885 against the increase of the whisky duty, and with the right hon. Gentleman's powerful assistance they turned out the Government of the day and brought in a Home Rule Government, in fact, two Home Rule Governments, but neither of them succeeded.

Question put.
