HC Deb 05 October 1931 vol 257 c821W
Miss RATHBONE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an estimate of the yield of a duty of 1½d. per pound on sugar and of a duty of 4d. per pound on tea?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

Allowing for the existing preference on Empire sugar and for the former preference on Empire tea, the estimated yield would be something over £20,000,000 and £6,000,000 a year, respectively.
