HC Deb 13 February 1933 vol 274 c646W
Duchess of ATHOLL

asked the Secretary of State for India what is the amount of the further taxation which has been found necessary in order to show a small surplus on this year's budget of the Government of India?

Sir S. HOARE

No new taxation was imposed in connection with the Budget for 1932–33, but the revenue position for that year was strengthened by increases of taxation which had previously been effected by the Supplementary Budget introduced in September, 1931, the provisions of which are set forth in an annexure to the Indian budget volume of 1932–33 (H.C. 104 of 1932).
