HC Deb 01 April 1926 vol 193 c2368W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the possibility in the coming Finance Bill of introducing some system under which it will be possible to distinguish between Entertainments Duty derived from indoor as compared with outdoor amusements?

Mr. RONALD McNEILL

My right hon. Friend has noted my hon. Friend's suggestion.

Colonel DAY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that certain West End night clubs provide a cabaret entertainment which is practically the same as entertainments given at West End theatres, be will consider the advisability of placing these clubs and cabarets in the same category with other entertainments as regards Entertainments Duty?

Mr. McNEILL

I would refer the hon. Member to the answers given on the 25th and 31st March to my hon. Friend the Member for Blackpool (Sir W. de Frece).
