§ SIR POWLETT MILBANK (Radnor)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether property held by 44 trustees for the benefit of a minister of religion, whose income from all sources is under £160 per annum, is entitled to relief for Land Tax under the Finance Act of last year.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS-BEACH,) Bristol, W.The answer is in the affirmative, if the minister is, by the instrument under which the lands are held, constituted the owner in possession of the rents and profits; otherwise the property would not be entitled to relief. If the honourable Member will give the particulars of any case in which he is interested I will cause inquiry to be made as to the minister's claim to relief.
