HC Deb 29 April 1901 vol 93 c55
MR. CAUSTON (Southwark, W.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state how it is proposed to deal with drawback in regard to confectionery sold in bottles and not by weight, in cases where the bottles, although of actually the same outward size and appearance, really vary in capacity.

SIR M. HICKS BEACH

The point will not be lost sight of when the details of the scheme for the assessment of drawback are under consideration. The question will probably be met by a system of "averaging."
