§ Mr. FLYNNasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reference to the estimated yield of£2,600,000 for 1909-10 arising from the increase of Liquor Licence Duties, whether he will state what proportion it is calculated will be raised in England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEIt is anticipated that of the total estimated yield of £2,600,000 about 90 per cent. will be contributed by England and Wales; about 6 per cent. by Scotland, and about 4 per cent. by Ireland; but sufficient data are not available for framing a precise estimate.
§ Mr. J. C. FLYNNThe right hon. Gentleman does not give those figures as absolutely correct; they are only an estimate?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEThat is all you can give. There are no precise data for the purpose, as the hon. Member knows very well.
