HC Deb 18 June 1925 vol 185 cc806-7
38. Major NALL (for Major KINDERSLEY)

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of revenue derived from the sale of licences to retail tobacco for each of the years 1914, 1920, and 1924, respectively; and how much of each of these sums was contributed by those conducting trades as tobacconists only and how much by those carrying on trades in which the retailing of tobacco forms only a part?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The total revenue for Great Britain from tobacco retailers' licences in the three years in question was as follows:

£
In 1913–14 93,627
In 1919–20 87,141
In 1923–24 107,441
The information asked for in the second part of the question is not available.

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

Is any licence required for a machine which sells tobacco after ordinary hours?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I must ask for notice.
