HC Deb 15 January 1913 vol 46 c2065
41. Mr. FRED HALL

asked the amount of revenue obtained for the six years ended 3lst March, 1912, from taxation on imported articles of food; and how much of such revenue was from articles that are produced in this country?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

With the hon. Member's permission, I will circulate the answer with the Votes, as it involves lengthy statistics.—[See Written Answers this date.]

Mr. FRED HALL

Will the right hon. Gentleman admit that the amount of this revenue so obtained in 1911–12 was £10,500,000?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The hon. Gentleman will find all the figures in the answer.

Mr. FRED HALL

Arising out of that answer, may I ask the right hon. Gentleman—

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Gentleman might restrain his impatience until he has seen the answer.
