HC Deb 06 July 1910 vol 18 c1623
Mr. HUNT

asked what would be the import duty paid to the Government out of £100 worth of raw tobacco used for manufacturing the tobacco smoked by working men and sold at 3½d. per ounce; and what would be the import duty on £100 worth of cigars sold at 2s. 6d. each?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

As it is necessary to know the price per lb. of the raw tobacco used for making tobacco sold at 3½d. per ounce, and the weight of a 2s. 6d. cigar, the question, as worded by the hon. Member, does not contain sufficient data to enable the answer to be worked out.
