HC Deb 06 March 1928 vol 161 cc261-2W
Mr. W. A. JENKINS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the fact that agricultural shows are held for the purpose of improving the quality and breed of live stock, and also of increasing the quality and quantity of food produc- tion, he will give instructions that such shows shall in future be exempt from payment of the Entertainments Duty, which at present is a handicap in the promotion of agricultural shows which are not run for profit?

Captain KING

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 20th February to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Market Harborough (Sir K. Fraser).
