HC Deb 11 May 1936 vol 312 c36W
Sir G. JONES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the large profits made by the big multiple-shop and chain-stores companies, and the fact that, unlike their individual competitors, they do not pay any Super-tax, he will consider the advisability of imposing a corporation or some similar tax on such companies?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I regret that I am unable to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion.
