HC Deb 22 March 1910 vol 15 c1018W
Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the yield of the Stamp Duties in Ireland for the eleven months, April, 1909, to February, 1910; and will he state the yield for the preceding corresponding period?

The HON. MEMBER further

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the yield of the Tobacco Duty in Ireland for the eleven months, April, 1909, to February, 1910; what was the amount of the yield for the corresponding period in the preceding years; and whether he can state the quantity of duty-paid tobacco imported into Ireland?

Mr. HOBHOUSE:

My right hon. Friend does not think it is desirable that he should anticipate his financial statement by giving for a particular tax figures relating to so large a part of the current year. As regards the eleven months ending 28th February, 1909, the figures asked for were as follows: —

£
Stamp Duties (including fee stamps) 330,000
Tobacco Duty 1,549,500
No information is available as to the quantity of duty-paid tobacco removed to Ireland from Great Britain.
