HC Deb 27 July 1910 vol 19 cc2303-4W
Mr. AUGUSTINE ROCHE

asked what is the total number of licensed public-houses in Cork City, the duty paid last year, the duty paid this year, and the average increase per house; and whether he will state the difference in the method of assessment as applied to Cork between the Finance Act of 1910 and the Acts of previous years?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I regret that I cannot give the comparative statement asked for in the first part of the question. I am not quite sure whether I appreciate the purport of the second part of the question. The method of assessment of the annual value of public-houses was not altered by the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910.
