HC Deb 15 March 1917 vol 91 c1269
59. Mr. CORY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the question of granting a further rebate on Licence Duties; and if he is aware that the allowance of one-fourth is quite inadequate having regard to the heavy burdens which have to be borne by licensees, and more especially in view of the further restrictions recently outlined?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The matter is already receiving my careful consideration.
