HC Deb 12 March 1857 vol 144 c2214
MR. KER SEYMER

said, he wished to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the event of the Yeomanry Cavalry not being called out for eight days' permanent duty during the ensuing year, he was willing, in accordance with precedent, to remit the horse duty to the enrolled members of the Yeomanry corps?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,

in reply, said, that if sufficient cause were shown for not calling out the Yeomanry for eight days' duty, the Government would, as had been the practice on former similar occasions, remit the duty for the ensuing year.

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON

For the ensuing financial year?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

The communication I have received from the Inland Revenue Board only says "for the ensuing year."
