§ Mr. HARDIEasked the President of the Board of Trade the sales in the United Kingdom of methylated spirits and the 1044W prices for November last, and the sales and prices for January or February this year?
Mr. SAMUELI have no information as to the sales of methylated spirits, but in November 750,000 proof gallons of spirits were delivered for methylation in the United Kingdom, in January 723,000 proof gallons, and in February 726,000 proof gallons. The wholesale price of industrial methylated spirit, 64 per cent. over proof, was at the rate of 2s. 5d. per gallon, and that of mineralised methylated spirit of the same strength 3s. 8d. per gallon, throughout this period.
