§ Mr. HASLAMasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of taking means of amending the recently issued regulations by which the deliveries from bond of spirits have been reduced by 50 per cent, so that the 50 per cent, allowed shall apply to each month severally in respect of the amounts taken out of bond by each applicant for deliveries instead of annually, with the view that the regulation may the sooner have practical effect?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWUnder the existing regulations deliveries are limited for the half-year ending 30th September "next to 25 per cent, of the 1916 deliveries, and thereafter to 25 per cent, for every succeeding six months. I do not think that it would be practicable to institute a monthly limitation of deliveries.
