§ 45. Mr. CHALMERSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of the total revenue of the country was yielded by the taxation of liquor in 1931 and in 1932 during the latest convenient period?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINIf what my hon. Friend has in mind is the proportion of liquor taxation to Budget revenue, the percentages for the first seven months of the years 1931 and 1932 are 19.62 in each case. If he means the proportion of liquor taxation to tax revenue, the figures are 24.35 and 23.21.
§ Mr. CHALMERSWill the right hon. Gentleman, when considering his next Budget, take some steps to diminish the excessive taxation of one single industry?
