HC Deb 24 August 1860 vol 160 c1779
MR. WHALLEY

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill in the next Session to remedy the inequality of the Property and Income Tax?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, he thought he would be a sanguine man who would expect to devise a tax which entailed no inequalities. As to the Income Tax, when that tax was renewed from time to time, various modifications were introduced as experience pointed out, and in any future renewal that same course would be adopted. If the hon. Gentleman intended to ask whether the Government would next year introduce a Bill to alter the incidence of the different Schedules, he had no hesitation in replying in the negative.
