§ 23. Mr. Osborneasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the estimated expenditure per person per week in the United Kingdom on drink, tobacco, amusement and gambling, respectively.
§ Mr. MaudlingIt is estimated that in the year July, 1953, to June, 1954, the average amounts spent per person per week in the United Kingdom on drink, tobacco, amusements and gambling were 6s. 6d., 6s. 5d., ls. 5d. and 6d., respectively. The figure for gambling is a very rough estimate and relates to net expenditure, i.e., amounts staked less winnings.
§ Mr. OsborneAre those figures calculated on the whole population, including children, or only on adults?
§ Mr. MaudlingThe Question asked for a calculation per person, and I take "person" to mean "individual."
