HC Deb 13 May 1924 vol 173 c1160W
Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer from what date the duty on sweetened table waters is to be abolished and on what date the reduction of price to the consumer will take place?

Mr. SNOWDEN

As regards the first part of the question, I am unable to anticipate the contents of the Finance Bill. The date of any reductions in price must of course depend upon the date of the repeal of the duty in question.
