HC Deb 18 February 1908 vol 184 c635
MR. BOTTOMLEY (Hackney, S.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the expediency of establishing an employers' tax of a penny in the £ upon the amount of wages and salaries paid to their employees.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. ASQUITH, Fifeshire, E.)

I can only once again repeat the assurance that I am always giving—that all suggestions for taxation are receiving, and will receive, my careful consideration.
