HC Deb 10 December 1929 vol 233 c285W
Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the estimated statutory profits made by the coalmining industry, including coking, etc., for each of the years from 1919 to the latest available date; and the amount of direct taxation paid for the same period?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

I regret that this information is not available, as the taxation statistics do not distinguish the incidence of taxation on different classes of industry.
