HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 c1205
Mr. BRIDGEMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the amount of Customs duty anticipated by the removal from bond of dutiable articles immediately before the close of the financial year under the various heads?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The figures, according to the best estimate that I have been able to make, are as shown below, but the hon. Member will understand that they are to some extent conjectural:—

Tea £200,000
Spirits 195,000
Sugar 50,000
Tobacco 45,000
Wine 35,000
Cocoa, coffee, and chicory 20,000
Dried fruit 5,000
Total £550,000
