Brandy and Rum Duty Debate in House of Commons

Tuesday March 19 in a Commons committee chaired by Mr Steele the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed a plan to modify import duties on brandy and rum linking the changes to the broader consolidation scheme. He urged duty reductions to five shillings per gallon for brandy and four for rum, while Sheridan pressed concerns about home made spirits and illicit trade. The exchange included warnings from Lord Penrhyn and responses about contraband and foreign imports as the committee passed the resolutions unanimously.
