HC Deb 18 January 1982 vol 16 c77W
Mr. Hordern

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can give an estimate of the revenue obtained from the increase in rates of excise duty on matches and mechanical lighters in the nine months since his Budget Statement.

Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

I regret that, owing to industrial action, information about receipts from the duties on matches and mechanical lighters is not available for months after May.
