HC Deb 25 July 1940 vol 363 c994W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether arrangements can be made to allow any refund of Licence Duty in respect of licensed premises in defence areas where the clientele of the licensed premises has virtually disappeared or has been very substantially reduced?

Sir K. Wood

This matter is receiving my consideration, but I am afraid I cannot make any statement at present.
