HC Deb 15 December 1953 vol 522 c21W
2. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the average annual amount of Income Tax collected from professional footballers' benefits in the last three years; and what estimate he has made of the average annual amount which would be collected if professional cricketers' benefits were taxed.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I regret that the figures asked for in the first part of the Question are not available, nor has any estimate been made of the amount that might be collected if cricketers' benefits were made taxable.
