HC Deb 18 May 1896 vol 40 c1570
MR. T. R. BUCHANAN

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, when the Agricultural Rating Bill for Scot land will be introduced?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

Not before Whitsuntide.

SIR HENRY FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)

On behalf of the hon. Member for Dundee (Mr. EDMUND ROBERTSON): I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can now state whether the relief provided in the Scotch Rating Bill will be limited to agricultural land?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I do not think it is expedient to describe the provisions of this Bill before it is introduced.
