HC Deb 14 October 1915 vol 74 c1472
109. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the opinion of those engaged in the cultivation and manufacture of Irish-grown tobacco that the Budget proposals would annihilate that young industry, he will say what concession he is willing to make to avoid that result?

Mr. McKENNA

I had the advantage, only yesterday, of receiving a deputation representing those interested in Irish-grown tobacco, and I promised to consider the representations made to me.
