§ 55. Mr. McGOVERNasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the monthly yield of Entertainments Duty on 4d. and 6d. seats in cinemas during each month from April, 1931, to April, 1932, and for the similar period of April, 1930, to April, 1931?
§ Major ELLIOTNo figures are available showing the yield of Entertainments Duty for particular classes of entertainments. Even if they were, I am afraid that the information asked for by the hon. Member could not be supplied, as the admission prices to which he refers have been chargeable with duty only since 9th November last.
§ Mr. McGOVERNCan the right hon. and gallant Gentleman give the figures for that period?
§ Major ELLIOTIt is not given for a particular class of entertainment, as I have stated in the earlier part of my answer.
