HC Deb 29 April 1915 vol 71 c836
79. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that a firm of Welsh millers have declared a profit for the past year of £367,865, which is over 300 per cent. more than the profits of the previous year; and, seeing that this profit is declared to be in the main due to the market opportunities created by the War, will he bear this instance in mind in framing the proposals of his Budget and take such steps as will secure in this and in other similar cases the unearned increment for the national Exchequer?

Mr. ACLAND

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on Tuesday last in reply to the hon. Member for Glasgow University in connection with the firm referred to.
