HC Deb 08 May 1912 vol 38 c397
Mr. MAURICE HEALY

asked the sources from which the £1,464,500 increase of the true revenue from Ireland in the year 1911–12 as compared with the year 1908–9 are drawn, giving the amount of the increase resulting from the new and additional taxation imposed by the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, and the amount of the increase from any other source, and mentioning what that source is?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

As I stated in answer to a question by the hon. Member on Monday last, the increase due to new and increased taxation imposed by the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, is approximately £1,100,000. The remainder is due to increases distributed over various heads. The figures for 1911–12 will be published in due course.

Mr. M. HEALY

Can the right hon. Gentleman not give the heads of the other increases? That was the principal object of the question.

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am afraid I could not give them now. There is no objection to giving them. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put a notice down on the Paper.
