HC Deb 29 June 1926 vol 197 c983
36. Mr. HORE-BELISHA (for Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY)

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the stage societies which produce theatrical performances on Sunday evenings pay an Entertainments Duty; if so, on what basis, and to what amount?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Societies which give theatrical performances on Sunday pay Entertainments Duty on the basis of the membership subscriptions. It is not possible to separate the amount of duty so paid from other receipts of Entertainments Duty.
