HC Deb 21 December 1937 vol 330 c1792W
Mr. Perkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state the total loss of revenue resulting from the drawbacks on petrol granted to Imperial Airways, Limited, during 1936?

Sir J. Simon

The drawback referred to is paid under the operation of the general law relating to duty-paid oil on all aircraft proceeding on a foreign journey, and it would be contrary to Revenue practice to disclose particulars relating to the business of an individual firm.
