HC Deb 30 July 1931 vol 255 c2454
57. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in deciding upon any new taxation during the current year, he will consider the advisability and probability of a large revenue being raised from a moderate tax on newspaper advertisements?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The hon. Member's suggestion has been noted; and I may add that, of the many suggestions for new taxation which reach me, this one and a tax on cats are the most common.
