HC Deb 08 August 1940 vol 364 cc458-9W
Mr. Denville

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer who were the representatives of the entertainment industry who agreed with him that the tax on the living theatre should be raised?

Sir K. Wood

Whilst my hon. Friend's Question does not correctly state the outcome of the discussions to which he refers, the position is that those discussions took place with a representative committee of the Stage and Allied Arts League covering managerial and touring organisations throughout Great Britain.
