HC Deb 06 July 1857 vol 146 c969
MR. DISRAELI

said, he rose to move an Address to the Crown for— Returns of the annual value of all Real Property rated under Schedule (A) of the Income Tax, for the year ended the 5th day of January, 1857, in each County or Parliamentary Division of a County in the United Kingdom, exclusive of the Real Property in each Parliamentary Borough, comprised within each such County or Division: Of the annual value of all Real Property, rated under Schedule (A) of the Income Tax, for the year ended the 5th day of April, 1857, in each Parliamentary Borough in each such County: Of the Population of each County or Parliamentary Division of a County, from the Census of 1851, not including the Population within any Parliamentary Borough in such County: And of the Population of each Parliamentary Borough within each County.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCEQUER

said, that it had not been the practice to grant Returns of this sort on the ground that it was not considered desirable to divulge their contents. He bad, however, no objection to make the present Return, inasmuch as it exclusively related to Schedule A; but if a similar Return should be moved for with respect to Schedule D, the Government would not consider themselves bound to agree to it.

MR. DISRAELI

said, that the Returns for which he had moved related to real property, and bore upon the question of the franchise. He had no intention to move for similar Returns under Schedule D.

Motion agreed to.
