HC Deb 29 September 1931 vol 257 c180
42. Sir JOHN FERGUSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his attention has been drawn to the purchase some time ago by a co-operative society of a chain of 100 prosperous shops in and around Liverpool upon whose profits Income Tax used to be paid; and can he give an estimate of the resultant loss to the Exchequer?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

I have no information as to the transaction in question.
