HC Deb 14 September 1914 vol 66 cc781-2
20. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to prevent unemployment in the tobacco trade, of which signs are already apparent, the Government will consider the propriety of crediting a drawback to manufacturers on British-made cigars deposited in a bonded warehouse or other approved place of custody, and allowing such credit to be drawn upon for duty payments due?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

This question is under consideration, and a decision will be arrived at as soon as possible.
