HC Deb 17 February 1948 vol 447 c184W
72. Mr. Janner

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet made any estimate of the prospective decline in the yield of entertainment tax in consequence of no new American films being imported into this country; and whether, in view of the difficulties of the cinematograph theatres in these circumstances, he will consider some early reduction in the present high rate of that duty.

Sir S. Cripps

No; with reference to the second part of the Question, my hon. Friend will not expect me to anticipate my Budget Statement.
