HC Deb 11 December 1928 vol 223 cc1909-10
54. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he can state the number of millionaires in the United Kingdom in 1913 and on the last available date?

Mr. SAMUEL

No, Sir. I have no means of arriving at these numbers.

Mr. MONTAGUE

Has the hon. Member any idea whether the number of millionaires has increased during the last year?

Mr. SAMUEL

I do not know, but I hope so.

Mr. MONTAGUE

Does the hon. Member not consider that the development of unemployment proves the value of making more millionaires in order to cure unemployment?
