HC Deb 06 January 1913 vol 46 cc829-30
64. Mr. C. BATHURST

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount of money now raised for public purposes by Imperial taxes and local taxation, respectively?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The total sum raised by Imperial taxes, including the duties which prior to 1907–8 were paid direct to the Local Taxation accounts was £155,040,000 in the year 1911–12. The total amount received by local authorities from rates in 1910–11 (the latest year for which particulars are available) was approximately £76,000,000. For the receipts of local authorities from sources other than rates, I can only refer the hon. Member to the Table on page 53 of the Statistical Abstract for the United Kingdom (Cd. 6399), which gives particulars for 1909–10 and previous years.

Sir W. BYLES

Will the right hon. Gentleman say when the Committee is likely to report?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise on this question.
