Total Customs and Excise receipts, 1960/61—£70,735,352.
Total Tax Revenue, 1960/61— £113,549,797.
No other heading yielded more than £1 million in 1960/61.
The corresponding particulars in respect of the year 1961/62 are not yet available. If the Deputy repeats that part of the question on or after the 10th April, 1962 I expect then to be in a position to supply the information requested.
