The reveue derived from the Entertainments Duty since its imposition seven years ago is £57,606,000, of which £9,603,000 was collected in the last financial year. I do not favour the extension of Government enterprise to art suggested in the last part of the question, and I am not prepared to regard specific revenues raised for public expenditure generally as in any way connected with particular forms of expenditure.
