HC Deb 06 August 1902 vol 112 c789
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer how much has been derived from the tax on corn and flour in Ireland since the passage of his Budget Resolutions; and, seeing that the war is now over, he proposes to make any modifications in this tax.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

The duty collected on corn and flour at the ports in Ireland from 15th April to 31st July, 1902, amounted to £71,230. The answer to the latter part of the Question is in the negative.
