§ 53. Mr. HANNONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the amount of the duty paid on sugar, etc., used in brewing; and the net produce of the beer duty in the United Kingdom for the year ended 31st March, 1924?
Mr. GRAHAMAs regards the first part of the question, I can add nothing to the reply on the same subject which my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave to the hon. Member for Darwen on the 13th May last. The yield of the beer duty in Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1923–24 was approximately £81,700,000.
