HC Deb 15 March 1923 vol 161 c1757
39. Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the exemption from the Entertainments Duty of agricultural shows where a band is engaged to play, as no material profit arises from the employment of a band at such shows?

Mr. BALDWIN

I am unable to adopt my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion.

70. Mr. LORIMER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the feeling against the Entertainments Duty being charged against agricultural and horticultural shows; and if he can see, his way to suspend. this tax at shows which are run purely of agricultural and allied industries?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 20th February to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Market Harborough.
