HC Deb 01 July 1918 vol 107 c1400
55. Mr. LOUGH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet received the Report from France on the working of the Luxury Tax; and, if so, will he lay it upon the Table of the House?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I have received a certain amount of confidential information from the French Finance Minister, but nothing of a nature which could be made public.

Mr. LOUGH

Does the right hon. Gentleman intend to get a further Report which may be published?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No; I do not think that it will be possible to get any Report of that kind which can be published. Its value to me would be at once gone if it were not treated as confidential.
