§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the expediency of establishing a graduated receipt stamp; and whether he can give any estimate of the increased revenue which would be derivable from this source?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEI have considered this proposal. As regards the second part of the question, I cannot give any estimate of the possible yield of such a duty in the absence of a specific scheme of graduation.
