§ MR. MOND (Chester)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the fact that a Bill allowing the use of denatured alcohol, free from revenue tax, in the arts and manufactures was recently passed by the House of Representatives and the Senàte House of the United States of America; and whether he will take steps to expedite the passing of the Bill introduced by him on this subject.
(Answered by Mr. Asquith.) My attention has been called to the United States legislation referred to. I recognise the desirability of making the changes in the law of the United Kingdom, which are proposed in the Revenue Bill, as soon as possible, and I will do what I can to secure the passing of the Bill this year.
