HC Deb 12 April 1943 vol 388 c975

Resolved, That, as from the thirteenth day of April, nineteen hundred and forty-three, the rate of the duty of excise charged on spirits by Section three of the Finance Act, 1920, in addition to the duties specified in Part III of the First Schedule to that Act, shall be increased to seven pounds seventeen shillings and sixpence per gallon computed at proof. And 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, 1913.

The Chairman

The next Resolution contains a complicated Table which I will read if any hon. Member desires it but otherwise, with the leave of the Committee, I propose to take the Table as read. There are other Resolutions containing similar Tables where, again with the agreement of the Committee, I would propose to adopt the same course. May I take it that the Committee is agreed?

HON. MEMBERS

Agreed.
