§ Mr. KETTLEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the present taxable capacity of Ireland relatively to that of Great Britain?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGESo far as the yield of the various duties, which are levied in Great Britain and Ireland at uniform rates, gives any indication of the comparative taxable capacity of the two sections of the United Kingdom—and I have no materials for making a calculation upon any other basis—the proportion on the figures for 1908-9 is approximately as 14 is to 1.
