HC Deb 03 February 1938 vol 331 c409W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what part of the profits of the business of an auctioneer, estate agent, or surveyor are held to be liable to National Defence Contribution, and what parts are held to be not so eligible?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by me on 1st February to the question asked by my hon. Friend the Member for Southampton (Mr. Craven-Ellis). The reply then given in regard to the business of an estate agent applies also to the business of an auctioneer or surveyor.

Mr. Shinwell

Yes, Sir.
