§ MR. WHALLEYsaid, he Mould beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he has any objection to state his intentions with respect to the Income Tax on Trades, Professions, and Employments under Schedule D; and, if not, whether he is prepared to make any; and what, reduction in the assessment of such Tax, and supplying the deficiency by an increase of the Property Tax, in accordance with the numerous Petitions presented to this House to that effect?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, he was sorry he must de dine to answer that Question. It was part of a subject connected with the general finance of the year, and he would be happy to state his intention when the proper time came. At present it would be quite premature to do so.
