HC Deb 31 January 1957 vol 563 cc204-5W
60. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give consideration to the desirability of making the scale of cinema entertainments duty more flexible, particularly in the lower range of admission price, so that cinema owners may vary admission prices without increasing the incidence of tax out of all proportion to the yield to themselves.

Mr. Powell

My right hon. Friend will, of course, consider this, but my hon. Friend will not expect me to anticipate the Budget statement.
