HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 c1204
Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many gallons of Irish distilled whisky were taken out of bond for each of the three years ending 1906, 1907, and 1908, respectively; the amount of duty paid in each year; and whether he can state the quantity of Irish-made whisky exported for the same period?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

As Irish-made whisky is not separately distinguished in the official accounts of goods taken out of bond or exported, I regret that I am unable to supply the information asked for by the hon. Member.

Mr. PATRICK WHITE

Will the right hon. Gentleman supply me with the statistics whether the whisky was Irish made or not?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

That is not the question put by the hon. Gentleman. If he will put the other question, I will endeavour to reply to him.
