asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give the taxation per head in this country in a full year under the proposals contained in the Finance Bill; and the latest available figures of taxation in France, Germany, Italy, and the United States of America?

The estimated taxation per head is as follows:

United Kingdom (1932–3)	£15 18s.
United States (1931–2)	$16.81*
France (1931–2)	Frs.1176†
Germany (1931–2)	Rms.143.45‡
Italy (1931–2)	Lire 414
* Federal Taxation only. The increased taxes now under consideration by Congress would make the estimated taxation for 1932–3 $21.50 per head.
† Actual Receipts (including those for the Autonomous Sinking Fund) for the year ended 31st March, 1932. Gross receipts of monopolies are included.
‡ Federal Taxation only.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state what are the numbers of Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Nonconformist chaplains, respectively, in the Navy; what is the total sum paid in salaries to chaplains; and what are the highest and lowest salaries paid to senior and junior chaplains, respectively?

The numbers are:

Anglican Chaplains	67
Roman Catholic Chaplains	10
Nonconformist Chaplains	9
	86

The total sum paid in salaries to these officers amounts at present to £42,000 approximately. Exclusive of the Chaplain of the Fleet, who receives an inclusive salary of £l,335 per annum, the highest salary is £812 and the lowest £277 per annum. In addition to these salaries, chaplains, except the Chaplain of the Fleet, are accommodated and victualled at the expense of the Crown or receive appropriate allowances in lieu.
