Entertainments Duty

HC Deb 27 June 1950 vol 476 cc2100-1

59. Mr. Keeling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what annual amount of entertainments duty is collected from societies not conducted or established for profit.

Sir S. Cripps

I regret that this information is not available.

Mr. Keeling

Can the Chancellor say that the estimated sum is so small that it will not of itself prevent him from accepting my Amendment to the Finance Bill on the Report stage?

Sir S. Cripps

I will certainly not say that, but I will say that it will not shake the Budget.
