HC Deb 24 February 1915 vol 70 c272
44. Mr. GEORGE TERRELL

asked the Prime Minister whether the House will be given an opportunity to consider new sources of national revenue, such as a tax on wages over 30s. per week and a special tax on profits made directly or indirectly out of the War, before the annual Budget Statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer?

The PRIME MINISTER

I fear it will not be possible to afford the House such an opportunity as the hon. Member suggests, but an occasion will no doubt arise in connection with the Finance Bill.
