§ Mr. MACQUISTENasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Liquor Control Board, owning or operating licensed premises in the Carlisle area and elsewhere, were assessed to and paid Excess Profits Duty; if they were so assessed what was the amount thereof; and, if they were not so assessed, what was the amount of excess profits actually earned?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCENo Sir. the whole of the profits of these schemes accrued to the State, including such sums as would have represented the Excess Profits Duty, if it had been applicable in such cases.
