§ Mr. POTTSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the repeal of food taxes levied upon food, together with a substantial reduction in the duties upon tobacco and beer, and replacing the revenue so lost by the introduction of special luxury taxes, as distinct from Income Tax, levied as a Head Tax upon all horses and hounds maintained for sporting purposes, upon the acreage of all lands reserved for deer forests and game preserves, upon all private salmon fishings, and upon manorial lands and mineral rights?
Mr. SNOWDENI cannot anticipate the Budget statement. I am bound to say, however, that there is little likelihood of obtaining sufficient revenue from the sources indicated to carry out my hon. Friend's suggestion.
