HC Deb 29 April 1869 vol 195 cc1849-50
MR. W. H. SMITH

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he will state whether any and what classes of Servants will be subject to the new License Duties who have hitherto been exempt from Assessed Tax?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, in reply, that if the hon. Gentleman would look to the 18th clause of the 3rd section of the Act, and take the trouble to compare it with former Acts, he would find that no exemption now granted by those Acts was taken away by the system of Excise Licenses.
