asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the amount of Light Dues received in 1924, 1925, and for the year 1926 up to the end of October?

I have been asked to reply. The answer contains a number of figures, and the hon. Member will perhaps agree to it being circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT?

Following is the answer:

The amounts of Light Dues received in 1024–25, 1925–26, and during the current financial year, are as follows:—

In respect of lights, etc., in Great Britain and Ireland:—

The bulk of the Basses and Minicoy Dues is collected at ports in India, Ceylon and the Straits Settlements, and complete accounts are not available later than 30th June, 1926.
