§ Mr. WATTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the fact that on page 49, line 15, and page 52, lines 10 to 15 of the Finance Bill, wholesale dealers are precluded from selling any quantity of spirits unless it is over two gallons, whereas at present these traders can sell two gallons and upwards; and, if so, will he say whether that is the intention of the Government?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEIt is not intended to interfere with the existing powers of a wholesale dealer, and this will be made clear by the insertion of some additional words in the Bill.
