§ 29. Captain Orrasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an approximate estimate of the loss in revenue in a full year consequent upon giving equity to the linen trade by raising the D level for all Class C materials to 50 per cent. higher than that for Class B materials.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerIf my hon. and gallant Friend is thinking of a change of the D level for linen articles including clothing, the cost would not exceed £500,000. But such a change would have consequences elsewhere, the effect of which I cannot estimate even approximately.
