HC Deb 14 May 1934 vol 289 cc1463-4W
Sir J. PYBUS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount of revenue derived from marine-policy stamp duties for each of the three past financial years, giving, if possible, separate figures for policies stamped for time and for voyage, respectively?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

My hon. Friend will find particulars of the receipt of these duties for the years ended 1932–33 in Table 28 on page 38 of the recently published seventy-sixth annual report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue (Command Paper No. 4456). The figure of receipt for the year 1933–34 is not yet available, but it is estimated to have been approximately the same as for 1932–33. It is regretted that the receipts cannot be divided so as to show how much is attributable to time and voyage policies.
