§ I turn to indirect taxation, Customs and Excise. My choice here is limited. It is limited by the necessity of selecting such duties as combine the advantages of substantial yield and a certainty 308 of collection. I have therefore concentrated upon well tried revenue producers. I propose to increase both the Customs and Excise duties on all the ordinary descriptions of beer by 31s. per standard barrel. That increase represents 1d. a pint on beer of average gravity and price. The increase will take effect from tomorrow, so you have not much time to lose. I anticipate that the additional yield will be £4,500,000 this year and £10,000,000 in a full year.
