HC Deb 15 April 1930 vol 237 c2723
50. Mr. MACQUISTEN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Liquor Control Board, owning and operating licensed premises in the Carlisle area and elsewhere, were and are assessed to and have paid and are paying Income Tax; if they were so assessed, what was the amount thereof; and if they were not so assessed, what was the amount of income on which tax could have been assessed and the sum of Income Tax foregone?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

No, Sir. The whole of the profits of these schemes accrued to the State, including such sums as would have represented Income Tax. I cannot say what the -Income Tax assessments would have been.
