§ Mr. MACLEANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much revenue the Betting Duty has yielded each month since it was imposed?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe net revenue derived from betting taxation in each of the months from November, 1926, to January, 1928, inclusive, was approximately as follows:
1248W
1926: £ November … … 327,400 December … … 132,000 state the ground or grounds of the decision?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI have further considered this question and, in all the circumstances, I am prepared to arrange that, in the case of claims under the Old Age Pensions Acts, 1908 to 1924, and the Blind Persons Act, 1920, referred to the Registrar-General for verification, search should be made in the 1871 as well as in earlier Census records. I am satisfied that no advantage commensurate with the work entailed, would result from extending such searches to include also the Census records for 1881 and 1891.
