§ 50. Mr. E. BROWNasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of revenue obtained through the instrumentality of the Entertainments Duty in 1922–23 from charges of admission not exceeding 2s.?
§ Mr. SNOWDENExact information is not available, but the yield of the Entertainments 1168 Duty from payments for admission (excluding the duty) not exceeding 2s. is estimated at about £8,200,000.
§ 56. Mr. HUGHESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to furnish a Return showing the yield of the Entertainments Duty when the payment for admission is 2½d., 4d., is., 2s., 3s., 5s., 7s. 6d., 10s. 6d., and 15s., respectively, for the year ending 31st March, 1923?
§ Mr. SNOWDENA considerable part of the Entertainments Duty is collected by means of the sale of Entertainments Duty Stamps at the several rates of duty. As the stamps of each value are appropriate to a range of payments for admission and there is no information as to the price or prices of the admission tickets for which such stamps are required, it is impossible to give the particulars asked for.
