Mr. Woodburnasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, with the double view of discouraging extravagant consumption and of increasing revenue, he is prepared to consider a tax of 6d. on all meals in public restaurants, hotels, clubs, etc., costing over 4s., is. on meals over 6s., and 2s. on meals over 8s., and so on?
§ Sir K. WoodI have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion, but he will not, of course, expect me to anticipate the Budget statement.
