Former MP for Leyton West
I beg to move, "That the Clause be read a Second time." I found myself in sympathy with the various Clauses which have been moved in regard to the Entertainments Duty as it affects charities, sports, art exhibitions, and so on, but these matters can be satisfactorily dealt with if those interested in them will have, what I have had on many occasions—an interview with the Customs...
I made no such statement.
I said the cost of building was so great that they could not afford to build.
Why? The whole of my argument was upon the 12½ per cent. The right hon. Gentleman knows quite well that the 12½ per cent. is out of order on the Paper, but by permission of the Chairman I was allowed to talk on the 12½ per cent.
Because they are taxed lower.
You will do justice.
Will the right hon. Gentleman go on to read the quotation from the same speech about the Entertainments Duty?
Did I not understand the right hon. Gentleman a moment previously to say there were too many? He cannot have it both ways.
