§ Mr. MORRISasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will state for the last convenient date the yield of the Silk Duties and the amount paid in rebates?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAs the hon. Member is aware, the Budget Estimate of the yield of the Silk Duties for this financial year was seriously prejudiced by the heavy importations which took place whilst the Budget was under discussion.598W I am, therefore, glad to be able to state that the net receipts of the duties up to 31st October last amounted to £1,035,800, the gross revenue being £1,095,600, and drawbacks and other repayments, £59,800.
