§ Mr. HEPWORTHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which of the emergency taxes imposed during the financial crisis of 1931, in addition to the increased petrol tax, now remain in force; and whether it is still his policy, when opportunities for reducing taxation arise, to give first consideration to the removal of those imposed during that emergency?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINFor particulars of the changes in taxation made, in the second Finance Act of 1931 and in subsequent years I would refer my hon. Friend to the Revised Financial Statement of Revenue and Expenditure presented to the House on the 10th September, 1931, and to the Financial Statements presented each year in opening the Budget. As regards the second part of the question, I cannot anticipate the Budget statement.
