§ Sir E. CORNWALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that promoters of charitable entertainments have been informed that the Entertainments Tax stamps bought in connection with various celebrations are not returnable if unused; and whether he can make allowance for unused tickets so as to avoid loss to charity?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe persons referred to appear to have been misinformed. Unused Entertainments Tax stamps may be returned to the Customs and Excise Department and a claim made for allowance thereon under the stamp laws. The Board2086W of Customs and Excise inform me that a number of claims have already been settled.
