§ Mr. FELLI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer a question, of which I have given him private notice, namely: If the profits of English companies which are derived from working gold and other mines abroad, and which profits may have increased during the War, but are in no way attributable to the War, will be free from taxation as excess or war profits?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe Excess Profits Tax, which, as I have indicated, is directed to the raising of additional revenue from the sources best able to contribute, will apply to such companies as the hon. Member mentions.
