HC Deb 27 April 1920 vol 128 c1051W
Sir K. FRASER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the large sums of duty which total abstainers avoid payment of by the practice of total abstinence, he will consider imposing upon them a levy equivalent to the amount which, if normal, they would pay; and what amount of duty would thereby be recovered from the members of the various Rechabite and Band of Hope associations?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. I am not prepared to adopt this suggestion.
