HC Deb 21 February 1916 vol 80 c437W
Sir JOHN BETHELL

asked the chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the suggested increase of taxation, he can see his way to amend Section 38 of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1915, by substantially increasing the Excess Profits Duty?

Mr. MCKENNA

I fear that I am unable to anticipate the next Financial Statement.
