HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 cc1680-1W
Mr. MacVEAGH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that, in consequence of the increased prices of alcoholic drinks, hotel-keepers now find that the proportion between receipts from alcoholic drinks and the receipts from other sources is entirely changed; and whether he will arrange in the Budget to adjust the hotel licence duty accordingly?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am afraid I cannot anticipate my Budget statement.
