§ Mr. HURDasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what was the yield last year of the Cider Duty and the cost of collecting the same?
Mr. YOUNGThe net yield of revenue from Cider and Perry Duty during the year ended 31st March, 1922, was approximately £90,000. It is not possible to furnish a reliable estimate of the cost of collection of this duty, the work in connection therewith being merged in the ordinary duties of the revenue staff.
