§ SIR M. HICKS BEACHsaid that the reason for this Resolution was precisely the same as in the last case. By putting the duty on these articles they increased the cost to the producer in this country, as compared with glucose imported from abroad, and it was only fair to rectify-that inequality.
795 Resolved, That on and after the seventeenth day of June, nineteen hundred and two, the duties of Customs on imported glucose imposed by section two of The Finance Act, 1901, shall be, as respects solid glucose three shillings and threepence, and as respects liquid glucose two shillings and sixpence.—(Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer.)
Resolutions to be reported To-morrow; Committee to sit again upon Wednesday.
