HC Deb 24 April 1913 vol 52 cc548-9W
Sir GEORGE YOUNGER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state, separately, the amounts of Licence Duty received in the financial year 1912–13, under the following heads: Manufacturers' licences, wholesale dealers' licences, on and off retail licences, and club licences?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The amounts of Licence Duty received in the year 1912–13 were approximately as follows:—

£
Manufacturers' Licences 427,000
Wholesale Dealers' Licences 126,000
"On" and "Off" Retail Licences 3,950,000
Club Duty 57,000
£4,560,000
These figures must not be taken as representing the true yield of the duties for the year. They include arrears from the previous year, and are, generally speaking, subject to adjustment.
