HC Deb 28 August 1914 vol 66 c289W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the present crisis, he would consider the advisability of permitting the amount of spirit grocers' licences in Ireland to be paid in two instalments instead of in a single sum as at present?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I will consider the hon. Member's suggestion. It would not, I think, be possible to treat the particular class of licences referred to exceptionally. I may remind the hon. Member that they are not payable until 1st October next, and that they are already payable in two instalments where the total amount payable amounts to £20.
