§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the number of publicans in the city of Belfast and the amount of licence duty paid by them for the years ended 10th October, 1905, and 10th October, 1906.
§ (Answered by Mr. Asquith.) I beg to refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on the 14th instant on the question of the sum collected.†The number of publicans could, no doubt, be easily ascertained, but I assume that this alone will not meet the object he has in view.
