§ Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the number of licensed public-houses in Ireland paying licence duty on a £10, the minimum, valuation, and how does this number compare with the total number of public-houses in Scotland; and what are the total numbers of licensed houses in Ireland and Scotland, respectively?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEI am considering whether I could not usefully lay on the Table of the House a Paper dealing with the details of my Licensing scheme, but I do not think it would be desirable for me to do so until the Finance Bill is in the hands of Members.
