HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 c1193
Mr. JAMES HOPE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, under the Budget proposals, a wine and spirit merchant who has hitherto taken out a £3 3s. licence to enable him to send out sample bottles of spirits, will in future have to take out a retailer's licence assessed on the value of his premises; and whether the existing wholesale £10 10s. wine licence will also have to be supplemented by a further retail licence if less than one dozen is sold?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The answer to both questions is in the affirmative.
