Vol. 395 No. 1

Financial Resolution No. 2: Excise — Table Waters.

The Taoiseach

I move Financial Resolution No. 2:

(1) That the duty of excise on table waters imposed by paragraph 9(2) of the Imposition of Duties (No. 221) (Excise Duties) Order, 1975 (S.I. No. 307 of 1975) (inserted by section 37(1) of the Finance Act, 1981 (No. 16 of 1981), shall be charged, levied and paid, as on and from the 1st day of February, 1990, at the rate of £0.29 per gallon in lieu of the rate specified in section 69(3) of the Finance Act, 1986 (No. 13 of 1986).

(2) It is hereby declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution shall have statutory effect under the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1927 (No. 7 of 1927).

Mr. S. Barrett

I move amendment No. 1:

In the fourth line of subsection (1), to delete all words from and including "charged, levied and paid" down to and including "(No. 13 of 1986)." in the seventh line and substitute "abolished, as on and from the first day of February, 1990."

Question put: "That the words proposed to be deleted stand."
