§ Mr. A. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state the estimated return to the Treasury if an advertising tax were introduced on all moneys spent on advertising on the following basis, namely, 5 per cent. on all amounts up to the first £500 per annum, 10 per cent. on amounts from £501 to £1,000 per annum, 20 per cent. from £1,001 to £2,000 per annum, and 75 per cent. on all amounts above £2,000 per annum.
§ Mr. A. BarberThe information on which to make such an estimate is not available and it could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort.
