§ *SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I bog to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is intended to propose legislation with regard to the appointment of Land Tax Commissioners (the appointing body of the Income Tax Commissioners), or whether they are to be allowed to the out, except the county magistrates who act ex-officio?
§ MR. HANBURYI hope during the Session to reintroduce the Bill of last year, which was the Bill usually introduced in each new Parliament, but which was opposed by the hon. Member for the Eye Division. It is of course only four years since a large number of Land Tax Commissioners were appointed.
§ MR. F. S. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)asked whether the Bill would include a provision for the total abolition of the property qualification for Land Tax collectors?
§ MR. HANBURYreplied in the negative.
