Mr. WATT
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the fact that several of the largest drapery establishments in the country are already advertising that for some months they will pay the Luxury Taxes, and not call upon their customers to pay such; if so, is he aware that this is felt by the other members of that trade to be unfair competition, and that the firms advertising are bound to be putting the tax on the prices of other articles, not luxuries, which they sell; and will he take steps to deal with this matter?
Mr. BONAR LAW
My attention has already been called to this matter, which is under consideration.
