HC Deb 24 July 1912 vol 41 cc1151-2
12. Sir GEORGE YOUNGER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is in a position to state the number of cases dealt with under the provisions of Section 4 of the Finance Act, 1911; in how many of these a reduction of Licence Duty has been granted; and what has been the cost to the Treasury?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)

I regret that I am not in a position to give the figures asked for, and I can only refer the hon. Member to the answer given to him on 1st April last. Applications are still coming in.

Sir G. YOUNGER

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman even give the amount that has been paid? I make it out to be £36,000 and not £50,000.

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I cannot give it now.
