HC Deb 02 May 1879 vol 245 c1583
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will take into consideration the propriety of extending to mechanics' institutes and public halls the same exemption from Inhabited House Duty which is granted by the 41 and 42 Vic. c. 15, s. 13, to business premises?

THE CHANCELLOE OF THE EXCHEQUER

I cannot undertake to do so. The exemptions from the Inhabited House Duty are already very large.
