Mr Robert Richardson: I listened with somewhat mixed feelings to the, shall I say, harrowing remarks of the Noble Lady, the Member for the Sutton Division of Plymouth (Viscountess Astor). She seems to know so much, but gives us very few facts indeed. She knows that I am connected with the working men's clubs of this country. I have the honour to be the President of that organisation, as I have been for some few...

May I inform her that in my own county the average expenditure per week per man is something between 2s. and 2s. 6d.? They have had to pay 6d. for a pint of beer in the past, and it will be 7d. in the future—[Interruption]. The Noble Lady...

Mr Robert Richardson: I am only trying to answer the arguments that have been put from the other side. I know I must not follow all that has been said, but I should like to point out to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that an extra 8d. or 10d. per dozen is being charged for half-pint bottles, which gives the bottlers something like 9s. a barrel. I told the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the last occasion that, if...

Mr Robert Richardson: I should like to make an explanation in reply to what was said by the right hon. and gallant Gentleman the Member for Burton (Colonel Gretton). The breweries I quoted have in the past always given a gravity of two degrees higher than the gravity of the ordinary brewery, and at the end of the half-year have returned 8s. dividend to those who purchased from them. I wonder whether the right hon....

Orders of the Day — Income Tax.: Profits on Conversion of Government Securities. (16 Sep 1931)

Mr Robert Richardson: I desire to offer a few remarks in regard to this vicious and immoral tax on beer. I use those words advisedly. Prior to 1913 or 1914 the tax on a barrel of beer of 1,055 gravity was 7s. 9d.; to-day it will be £6 14s., but there is a rebate which brings it down to £5 14s. The tax proposed to-day is 15 times greater than it was pre-War. There is no proposal in the Budget to put a further tax...
