§ MR. THOMAS COLLINSasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether, in those parts of parishes which, under the Divided Parishes Acts, have been added to other parishes, Land Tax levied therein forms a part of the quota of the ancient parish, or part of the quota of the parish into which such divided parts of such parish have been cast; and, if the latter is the case, whether the Government is prepared to recommend legislation with a view to alter the quota of the enlarged parish in accordance with the rateable property added thereto?
§ MR. COURTNEYIt has been judicially decided that in the cases of parts of parishes which, under the Divided Parishes Acts, have been added to other parishes, the Land Tax forms part of the quota of the ancient parish.
