69. Mr. WILLIAM REDMOND

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if the Treasury will accede to the request made by the recent deputation of British and Irish tobacco growers for an allowance in respect of Home-grown tobacco for exportation?

70. Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked whether the allowance of 2d. per pound granted to Home-grown tobacco, when the manufactured article is used in this country, will be extended to all growers in the United Kingdom, whether the crop is used at Home or exported?

Mr. MONTAGU

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer is prepared to accede to the request of the deputation so soon as an opportunity occurs for obtaining the necessary legislative sanction.
