Major DAVIESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the decision of the Home Office to enforce the Regulations relating to lotteries in connection with various war charities, all bond-fide charities registered under the War Charities Act can be granted total exemption from the Entertainment Tax?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe provisions in Section 1 (5) of the Finance Act, 1916, seem to me adequate to meet the case of all entertainments held in good faith for charitable purposes, and I do not think it necessary or advisable to extend them.
