HC Deb 03 November 1920 vol 134 c399W
Mr. KILEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of revenue received since 19th April, 1920, from the duties (including ad valorem) upon champagne and the duty (including ad valorem) upon imported cigars; and what revenue was received in respect of those goods during the same period in 1919?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It is not customary to give details of the yield of revenue in the current year in answer to questions, and in this particular case for the reasons given in my answer to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Wimbledon (Mr. Hood) on the 28th Octber any comparison based on these figures would be misleading.
