HC Deb 27 March 1928 vol 162 c302W
Lieut.-Colonel NALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether excise-able liquor produced in Ireland will contribute duty to the British Exchequer at the rates applicable to liquor produced in Great Britain; and whether such liquor is imported into this country under bond?

Mr. BALDWIN

On and after 1st April next excisable liquor imported from the Irish Free State into Great Britain or Northern Ireland will be chargeable with Customs import duty at the rates in the Customs tariff, and not with the Excise rates of duty applicable to liquor produced in Great Britain or Northern Ireland. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative.
