§ MR. EUGENE WASON (Clackmannan and Kinross)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the rules and regulations made by the Board of Inland Revenue for the sale and manufacture of spirits for manufacturing purposes are out of print; and when the new regulations proposed will be printed.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN, Worcestershire, E.)If the Revenue Bill which is now before the House passes, the instructions referred to in the Question will require considerable alteration. In that event the new regulations will be printed as early as possible. If the Bill does not pass, I will have the old regulations reprinted with any modifications that are required to bring them up to date.
§ MR. EUGENE WASONWill the right hon. Gentleman let me have a copy of the old regulations?
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINI am afraid they are out of print.
§ MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)Will the right hon. Gentleman furnish me with particulars as to chicory as promised? The absence of them may delay the Bill.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINIf the hon. Gentleman will see me in my private room I will try to give him the information he requires, and will have samples ready.
