§ SIR ROBERT LOYD LINDSAYasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, in accordance with the suggestion of the Inland Revenue Commissioners of 13th June, the Government intend to adhere to the limitation of the remission of the Income Tax on farms in hands of the owners (proposed to be made in consideration of the present agricultural distress) to cases of farms not habitually occupied by owners for purposes of husbandry; and, whether such a limitation will not, in fact, exclude from relief all yeomen farmers who have suffered as much as, or more than, any of the farming class in recent years?
MR. GLADSTONE, in reply, said, he presumed the hon. and gallant Member did not think that the recommendation in question extended to what were known as home farms. As to the purport of the Question, however, he could not give any positive answer; but he would make inquiry as to the precise position of matters.
