§ Mr. SITCHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps were taken to remit the taxation of brewery dividends at the commencement of liquor control; what was the actual amount lost to the Exchequer by the remission; whether the profits made by brewers proved to be such as to render the remission unnecesary; and, if so, whether the Government will take steps to recover the amount so lost to the Exchequer?
1949W
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am not aware of any remission of taxation of the nature referred to in the question.
