HC Deb 03 June 1930 vol 239 c1961
49. Mr. CHRISTIE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that nicotine for horticultural purposes is made of tobacco which has been subject to heavy duty, he will give a rebate of all or part of the tax on all tobacco used for this purpose?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The hon. Member appears to be under some misapprehension. The law already provides for the payment of a drawback of duty on stalks, shorts and other tobacco refuse used for the manufacture of preparations for horticultural purposes.
