HC Deb 25 May 1909 vol 5 c1016
Mr. TIMOTHY DAVIES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Customs and Excise officers have any power to interfere in cases where traders affix labels to bottles or cases of spirits in bond bearing false descriptions as to age, etc., of the contents?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd-George)

Officers are not allowed to interfere on their own responsibility with labels on bottles or cases except in certain instances, in regard to which I am forwarding a memorandum to my hon. Friend.
