§ MR. BOTTOMLEYI beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, with a view to broadening the sources of revenue within the limits of the present fiscal policy of the country, he will consider the expediency of taxing advertisements, introducing a graduated receipt stamp, imposing a stamp duty on share certificates, taxing betting and racing stakes, establishing an employment tax of a penny in the pound on all wages paid: and taxing theatre and other amusement tickets beyond a given price.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (MR. LLOYD-GEORGE,) Carnarvon BoroughsI will reflect upon my hon. friend's suggestions.
§ MR. BOTTOMLEYI will repeat the Question after allowing the right hon. gentleman a reasonable period for reflection.
