§ MR. A. C. MORTONI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps to make the assessments of property on which House Duty and Income Tax are collected the same as that used (the rateable value) by the Local Authorities, so that the assessments for Imperial and local taxation may be uniform?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTI must give the same answer to this question as I did to a similar one the other day—namely, that this is a question which will be very properly considered when it is determined to place all taxation of real and personal property on the same footing.
§ MR. A. C. MORTONI beg to give notice that when the Government Bill is brought in I shall move an Amendment with a view to carrying out the proposal in the question.
