Major HOPEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total amount of the tax collected on motor spirit manufactured in the United Kingdom during the last financial year for which figures are available; and how much of this sum was refunded owing to the spirit being eventually used for industrial or other purposes, for which there is exemption or abatement?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe amount of duty collected on motor spirit manufactured in the United Kingdom in the year ended 31st March, 1914, was about £17,700. The records of repayments in respect of motor spirit used for industrial and other purposes do not distinguish between home-made and imported spirit.
