§ Mr. HANNONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will prepare and publish during the Recess a statement setting forth the extent to which in percentage costs productive industry in Great Britain is burdened by local and national taxation as compared with the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Belgium?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENI know no way of measuring the extent to which productive industry is burdened by taxation.
§ Mr. HANNONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give as at the latest convenient date the comparative burden of taxation, national and local, borne by the individual taxpayer in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia, and the United States of America?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENI do not think any such comparison of burdens is practicable.
