HC Deb 30 April 1934 vol 289 c34
56. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether steps are taken to collect additional entertainments duty on tickets resold at enhanced prices for cup finals and other similar types of entertainment; and whether he is satisfied that the revenue is adequately protected in this respect?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

As I explained in the answer given to the hon. Member for Westhoughton (Mr. R. Davies) on 25th April, the question of liability to Entertainments Duty in cases such as those referred to depends on the particular circumstances of individual transactions. If my hon. Friend will give me details of any particular cases he has in mind, I will have them looked into.
