§ 80. Mr. Skeffingtonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what extra revenue Cyprus derives from the recent increase in tobacco duty in that territory.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsFrom the beginning of February, when the increase was introduced, to the end of May extra revenue from tobacco duties amounted to about £136,000. The additional tax may therefore be expected, if the current rate of yield is continued, to produce during 1948 an increased revenue of about £374,000 on total budget of about £4 million.
