HC Deb 10 May 1904 vol 134 c886
MR. PLUMMEB (Newcastle-on-Tyne)

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the total amount of light dues collected in the United Kingdom during the year ending 31st March, 1904, also the amount expended on the lighthouse service during the same period (showing separately the expenditure on new works), and the balance in hand at the close of the year.

(Answered by Mr. Gerald Balfour.) The amount of dues collected in the United Kingdom during the year in question was £497.240. I regret that I am unable to supply the hon. Member with the other information for which he asks as the accounts for the year have not all been received.
