§ Mr. MACQUISTENasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that British saccharine is controlled at 1s. 7½d. per 100 tablets, while American is sold uncontrolled at 2s. 6d. and 2s. 9d., and naturally is pushed by chemists, though inferior to British, and is consequently more readily sold; and whether he will free British saccharine or control American, and so assist the Chancellor of the Exchequer in keeping money in the country?
§ Mr. McCURDYI have been asked to reply. The control over the price of saccharine tablets was entirely removed on 1st January last and has not been re-imposed.
