HC Deb 06 August 1912 vol 41 c2930W
Mr. ARMITAGE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give the amount of duty collected on motor spirit and the amount of the rebate returned for the year 1911–12; and the cost of investigating the claims for rebate for the same period?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The duty collected on motor spirit for the year 1911–12 was £714,318. The rebate of duty amounted to £90,536. I am afraid I cannot give the cost of investigating the claims for rebate.
