HC Deb 07 June 1920 vol 130 c50W
Mr. KILEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of the revenue received since 1st January, 1920, from the duty levied on mechanical lighters; the number of staff employed; and the approximate expenditure in connection with the collecting of same?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The approximate amount of revenue received from the duty on mechanical lighters from 1st January to 31st March last, was £1,800. The collection of this duty is not assigned to a separate staff. The information asked for in the last two parts of the question is not, therefore, available.
