HC Deb 01 March 1909 vol 1 c1239W
Mr. HART-DAVIES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take into consideration the expediency of introducing graduation in tobacco dealers' licences, starting with 10s. 6d. as a minimum, and graduating upwards according to the trade done or the rateable value of the premises?

The hon. Member further asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider, from the financial point of view, the expediency of doing away with the maximum on tobacco cutters' licences and graduating the licence duty throughout.

Mr LLOYD-GEORGE

I will consider the points raised by my hon. Friend.
