§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe total receipt of Excess Profits Duty (including Munitions Levy) in Great Britain and Northern Ireland during the period from 1st April to 14th July, 1923, was about £8,870,000. Repayments made during the same period amounted to £7,940,000.
§ Mr. H. H. SPENCERDoes not the question relate, not to the amount repaid, but to the amount the repayment of which has been claimed?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have given the amount repaid, but I am not quite sure as to the amount claimed.
§ Mr. SPENCERIs it not a very different thing, claiming money back and getting it back?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSIt is.
