§ SIR GEORGE BADEN - POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether he can lay upon the Table of the House a Return in continuation of that given on page 283 of the Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for 1884–5, giving the value of property assessed to Income Tax under Schedule (C) for all profits arising from annuities and dividends, distinguishing the amount assessed on dividends from British, Indian, Colonial, and Foreign Stocks for the year 1886–7, together with the duty chargeable thereon for those years?
§ SIR HERBERT MAXWELL (A LORD of the TREASURY) (Wigton) (who replied) saidThe Tables to which my hon. Friend alludes have been referred to; and I observe that the information for which he asks is given in them for intervals of four or five years, the latest year being 1883–4. The information involves some trouble in collection, and cannot be given until a year after date. I therefore think that it need not be given for at least one year from the present time, which would bring it down to 1887–8, or four years from the date of the last Return.
