§ Mr. LOUGHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is his intention to deal with the question of the Excise Duty on beet sugar produced in this country in the Revenue Bill; and, if not, whether, having regard to the principle involved in exempting an important article of consumption which is subject to such a heavy Customs Duty from Excise, and also to the uncertainty and the treatment now being caused to the refiners of raw sugar in this country, he will take an early opportunity of stating the intentions of the Government?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. My right hon. Friend will have an opportunity of discussing this question on the Second Reading of the Revenue Bill.
