§ Mr. ARNOTTI beg to move, in page 3, line 37, after the word "oils," to insert the words "other than turpentine."
Every Member of this House has voted for this Amendment at one time or another. The Chancellor of the Exchequer himself moved a similar Amendment in the clays gone by, and when the duty was only 2d. Hon. Members opposite supported a similar Amendment in the earlier part of this year. Therefore, every hon. Member in the House will support this Amendment, at least that is what one would expect. The duty on white spirit at the present moment is 100 per cent. and the duty
§ on turpentine has been quadrupled since the Chancellor of the Exchequer first opposed it. Every argument that had been urged before against this duty can be urged with even greater force tonight.
§ It being Six of the Clock, the CHAIRMAN proceeded, pursuant to the order of the House of the 22nd September, to put forthwith the Question on the Amendment already proposed from the Chair.
§ Question put, "That those words be there inserted."
§ The Committee divided: Ayes, 216; Noes, 278.
