HC Deb 18 February 1947 vol 433 c148W
73. Mr. E. P. Smith

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the commercial living theatre is suffering heavily from curtailment of performances and the prevailing public depression, and remembering that it is normally so profitable to his Department, he will consider remitting or refunding the entertainments tax during the present emergency.

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir.
