§ Mr. DUFFYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is customary on the part of officers in charge of Customs warehouses in Ireland to apprise traders of the amount of whisky in bond to their credit at stated times; can he say if any whisky is in bond in any of the warehouses in Ireland unclaimed within the past five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years; and, if so, will he take steps to acquaint all those traders who have whisky in bond over five years, but who have not made inquiry about the same within that period?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The Board of Customs and Excise have no knowledge of any whisky answering the description given in the second part of the question, and it is not proposed to take any steps in the matter.
