Mr. WILLIAM REDMONDasked if the Secretary for the Colonies can give information briefly as to the places throughout the Empire where tobacco is cultivated, and as to the extent of the industry; and whether in any of these places the various Governments of the over-sea dominions charge any duty upon homegrown tobacco?
Mr. HARCOURTIt is difficult to supply the information required by my hon. Friend in the shape of an answer to a question, but if he will move for a Return, the information could no doubt be collected, though some time must necessarily elapse.
Mr. W. REDMONDThe right hon. Gentleman has intimated that he will give information, and I suppose I may assume that he will grant a Return?
Mr. W. REDMONDWill the right hon. Gentleman be good enough to inform me as to the form in which he wall accept it?
