§ Mr. SCANLANasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether complaints have been made by spirit traders in county Sligo and other parts of Ireland of the hardship inflicted on them through the wholesale firm of Darcy and Company, Limited, Newry, going into liquidation, and the sale of their stocks of spirits having been made to Messrs. Chaplin and Company, of London., tans depriving the traders who were supplied by Darcy and Company of the benefit of the supplies to which those traders were entitled under the regulations made by the Advisory Committee of the Board of Customs and Inland Revenue; and what steps the Government are prepared to take to secure for those traders the supplies to which they are entitled, but of which they will be deprived if the transfer of the stocks from Darcy and Company to a London firm is allowed to take place?
§ Mr. CLYNESI have been asked to reply. I may refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave the hon. Member for Dublin Harbour on 11th March. I can only add that the matter will not be allowed to drop.
