§ 47. Lieut.-Colonel GAULTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider reducing the excise and placing a countervailing export duty on whiskey in order that the taxation from this source may be borne by the foreign instead of the home consumer?
Mr. SAMUELI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave on 21st February to the hon. and gallant Member for Chelmsford (Colonel Howard-Bury).
§ Lieut.-Colonel GAULTHas my hon. Friend any information concerning the rumour that Scotch whiskey, that is whiskey distilled in Scotland, can be procured at a lower price in New York than in London?
§ Mr. SCRYMGEOURIs not this business, like death, without respect to persons?
