§ Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieuasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what stage entertainments have been exempted from Entertainments Duty under the provisions of the Finance Act, 1946, during the past six months; and by whom they were provided.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThe entertainments concerned number many hundreds, and I regret that all the information for which the hon. Member asks could not be supplied without disproportionate work and expense. Someinformation about the types of entertainment and the number of organisations which benefited under these provisions in 1953–54 is, however, contained in the answer I gave yesterday to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Knutsford (Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport), to which I would refer the hon. Member.
