Viscountess ASTORasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the last three full years during which advertisements for intoxicants were accepted by previous Governments in official publications; and what the revenue from such advertisements was during each of those years?
§ Mr. R. McNEILLThe last three full years during which advertisements of alcoholic liquors were accepted prior to the entry into office of the present Government were 1921–22, 1922–23, and 1923–24. I regret that it is not possible to state what part of the total revenue from all classes of advertisements accepted for display in official publications, etc., was in respect of advertisements of liquor containing alcohol.
