§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the 1180W amount of revenue derived from the duty on motor spirit and white spirit, respectively, for the financial years ending 31st March, 1929 and 1930, respectively?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEThe figures required cannot be given in respect of the year ended 31st March, 1929, as a large part of the revenue in that year was derived from the Excise duty on stocks of petroleum oils on 25th April, 1928, which was not divided into categories. With regard to the year ended 31st March, 1930, a separate figure for white spirit alone is not available, but the revenue from "motor spirit" was approximately £14,675,000 and that from "petroleum spirit other than motor spirit" approximately £274,000.
