HC Deb 25 May 1909 vol 5 c1149W
Mr. FLYNN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reference to the estimated yield of £2,600,000 for 1909-10 arising from the increase of liquor licence duties, whether he will state what proportion it is calculated will be raised in England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

It is anticipated that of the total estimated yield of £2,600,000 about 90 per cent. will be contributed by England and Wales, about 6 per cent. by Scotland, and about 4 per cent. by Ireland; but sufficient data are not available for framing a precise estimate.
