§ Major Markhamasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what classes of ships engaged in the coastal trade are not permitted to supply their crews with out-of-bond tobacco and rum; and whether he will make available duty-free tobacco and rum in all such ships?
§ Sir K. WoodNo ships engaged in coastal trade are allowed by the law to ship duty-free stores. I have considered the position carefully on several occasions, but regret that I am unable to accept the proposal in the second part of my hon. and gallant Friend's Question.
