HC Deb 11 May 1909 vol 4 cc1791-2W
Mr. BARNARD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will explain why he proposes to charge the 12s. per 50 barrel licence on bulk barrels, whereas he charges the 7s. 9d. duty on statutory barrels?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

My hon. Friend is probably aware that in the course of to-day's Debate I have undertaken to reconsider this point, and in these circumstances it is perhaps hardly necessary for me to go further into the grounds on which my original decision was based.
