Viscountess ASTORasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give the estimated profits of brewing concerns in the United Kingdom for the accounting years from that closed in the income tax year ended 1913–14 up to the income tax year ended 1921–22?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThere are no later estimates of these profits for the years in question than have been furnished from time to time in answer to questions on the subject. The estimates already given were as follows and the Noble Lady will remember that these estimates include not alone brewing profits but profits arising from ancillary trading:
