§ 71. Mr. T. Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amounts paid in Income Tax by local authorities in Great Britain during the financial years 1930–31, and the latest year for which figures are available; and the amounts paid by trading and non-trading departments, separately, for the same two years?
§ Sir J. SimonThis information is not available, as the statistics collected do not distinguish the amount of tax paid by any particular group of taxpayers.
§ Mr. WilliamsCould not more adequate information be secured?
§ Sir J. SimonI will make inquiries, if the hon. Gentleman wishes.
