§ 23. Mr. DAVID MASONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can inform the House of the taxation per head in the United Kingdom for 1913–14 and that for 1933–34, also the corresponding figures for France, Germany, Italy, and the United States of America?
§ 22. Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give approximately for each of the past five years the taxation in sterling per head of the population in the United Kingdom and also in the United States of America, Germany, France, and Italy?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINIf the two hon. Members would be so good as to put their questions down again in a week, I will see if the information can be supplied in a satisfactory form.
§ Mr. PETHERICKWhen my right hon. Friend does supply the information, will he make it clear whether the figures relating to the United States of America refer to Federal or States taxation, or both?
§ Mr. MASONWill the right hon. Gentleman allow me to apologise for the short notice of this question? I wished to get the figures, if possible, before the discussion of the Finance Bill.
