HC Deb 19 March 1948 vol 448 c275W
Mr. Baker White

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what loss of revenue has resulted from the disappearance of dividends on the shares of colliery companies since nationalisation.

Sir S. Cripps

The National Coal Board remains liable to tax on its profits in the same way as any ordinary trading concern. The question of loss of revenue does not, therefore, arise.
