§ Mr. YEOasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the quantity of potato spirit annually imported into this country, the monetary value of the same, and the commercial uses to which it is put; and whether there is any prohibition of potato spirit being manufactured in this country or in Ireland?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEPotato spirits are not separately distinguished in the official records of spirits imported, and it is therefore impossible to state the quantity and value of the imports, and I have no information as to the commercial uses to which such spirits are put. There is no prohibition of the nature described in the question.
