HC Deb 02 March 1910 vol 14 c855
Mr. GEORGE YOUNGER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether it is proposed to counterbalance the new duty on beer imported into India by an equivalent Excise duty on native-brewed beer?

Mr. MONTAGU

Yes, Sir. The Indian financial proposals include provisions for raising the present duty on beer brewed in India after European methods, so as to correspond with the new duty on imported beers.
