HC Deb 26 April 1937 vol 323 c41W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Home Secretary what sums were received last year from licences to chimney sweeps under the Chimney Sweepers Acts, 1875 and 1894; and whether they are credited to the Exchequer or to local revenues?

Sir J. Simon

The fees for chimney sweepers' certificates issued by the police are credited to local police funds. I cannot, without detailed inquiry, give the total for the whole country, but for the year ended 31st ultimo the amount received in the Metropolitan Police District was £2 15s.
