HC Deb 26 February 1901 vol 89 c1198
MR. SPEAR (Devonshire, Tavistock)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in granting the Return as to Rates on Agricultural Land which stands on the Paper for today, he will include in the Return a statement showing the sum paid to each union in lieu of one-half of the rates on agricultural land in each union.

MR. WALTER LONG

For reasons similar to those which I gave yesterday in reply to a question by my hon. friend, the Member for East Somerset, I regret that I am unable to grant the Return now asked for.
