HC Deb 03 March 1931 vol 249 c195
48. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the realised revenue during the first nine months of the present financial year from taxes or duties on imported goods?

Mr. PETHICK -LAWRENCE

The approximate net amount of revenue derived from the duties on imported goods during the first nine months of the current financial year was £92,644,000.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

May I ask, without wishing to anticipate the Budget statement, whether it is the policy to sweep away these iniquitous taxes?
