HC Deb 24 May 1909 vol 5 c968W
Mr. KETTLE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the materials on which his estimate of the taxable capacity of Ireland as being approximately one-fourteenth of that of Great Britain is founded?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I explained to the hon. Member in the reply which I gave to him on the 19th instant that my calculation was based on the yield of the various duties which are levied in Great Britain and Ireland at uniform rates,i.e., all Imperial taxes except licence duties, railway duty, and inhabited house duty.
