HC Deb 28 April 1885 vol 297 c960
MR. BIRKBECK

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he has given consideration to the request, made during the debate on Customs and Inland Revenue Bill last Session, as to placing the tenant farmers of England on the same footing as Scotch and Irish in respect of the charges under Schedule (B) of Income Tax?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)

In reply to the Question of the hon. Member, I may assure him that I have, since last Session, given great attention to this subject, which is one of much complexity, as he, doubtless, is aware. In my Financial Statement I hope to deal with it in a manner of which the hon. Member will possibly approve.
