§ 37. Sir D. REESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether thousands of claims are outstanding in respect of Licence Duty in excess of the actual rent paid to the lessor; whether, in some of such cases, the claim is for more than double such rent; whether many such cases have been brought specially under his notice; when he proposes to take such action as will relieve innocent sufferers in this behalf under the licensing provisions of the Budget of 1909–10; and why no provision is made in the Revenue Bill of this Session?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)I would refer the hon. Member to the statement I made in connection with the matter, on Tuesday last, when the Revenue Bill was under consideration.
