HC Deb 26 April 1910 vol 17 c244
Mr. HAMERSLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the further information obtained by him, he would now say at what amount he estimated the loss to the revenue of the current financial year resulting from the rejection of the Finance Bill in another place?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I have nothing to add to the information which I laid before the House on the 19th instant.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what would have been the difference had the Income Tax Resolution been passed in February, and acted upon?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I do not think the difference would have been a serious one.

Mr. HAMERSLEY

How does the right hon. Gentleman reconcile his answer of 8th March with his statement of the 19th instant?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is a matter for argument.
