HOLBROOKasked the Home Secretary what amounts were included in the accounts of the State-management district under the Licensing Act, 1921, in respect of licence and other duties (beer, spirits, etc.), taxes (other than Income Tax, Schedule D), and rates or contributions in lieu thereof; and whether any amounts are included in respect of taxes or super-taxes which would have been payable had the houses been in private ownership?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe published accounts relate to more than one State Management District under the Licensing Act, 1921, and the total payments included in the accounts in respect of the items mentioned in the first part of the question amounted for the year 1926–1927 to £198,868 6s. 11d. No amounts are included in respect of Income Tax (Schedule D) and Super-tax.
§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Home Secretary the reasons for which the State 53W has taken over the refreshment rooms at Carlisle station from the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThese refreshment rooms have not been taken over and there has been no change in the arrangement made by the Central Control Board as long ago as May, 1917, under which the railway company acts as the agent of the State Management Districts for the supply of intoxicating liquor.
