HC Deb 04 May 1933 vol 277 c992
24. Mr. STOURTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the yield from Entertainments Duty during the past financial year for the following admission prices: up to and including 6d., from 7d. to 1s., inclusive, from 1s. 1d. to 2s. 6d., inclusive, from 2s. 7d. to 3s. 6d., inclusive, and from 5s. and upwards?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am afraid that the information desired by my hon. Friend cannot be given, as detailed statistics of the Entertainments Duty at the various prices of admission are not available.

Mr. STOURTON

Can the right hon. Gentleman say approximately what proportion of the Entertainments Duty is paid on the admission prices up to sixpence?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. As I have said, there is no division of receipts of duty from the various classes of seats.
