HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 c1525
93. Mr. LOUGH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has decided that it will be necessary to introduce a third Finance Bill in order to renew the tea and other duties, or whether he can make the necessary provision for the finance of the year in the Bill now before the House?

Mr. McKENNA

I fear I can at present add nothing to my previous statement on this subject.

Mr. LOUGH

Does not the absence of these duties from the Finance Bill make it absolutely necessary that there shall be some action? Will the right hon. Gentleman please tell us?

Mr. McKENNA

I can add nothing to the previous answers on the same subject, which have been very full.
