HC Deb 30 July 1940 vol 363 cc1175-6W
Sir W. Wayland

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, when retail licence holders are compelled to cease trading in certain coastal areas due to special war conditions, he will be prepared to make provision to secure for them any unexpired portion of their licence duties and provide for the payment of a proportional amount of duty in such year when trading is resumed, so as not to require them to pay licence duty for periods during which they are unable to trade

Sir K. Wood

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 25th July to a similar Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth (Sir L. Lyle).
