HC Deb 13 November 1902 vol 114 cc881-2
SIR JAMES RANRIN (Herefordshire, Leominster)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the product of the penny rate referred to in the Amendment to the Education Bill, put down by him after Clause 10 of the Bill, is intended to be the product of a penny rate charged on the full assessment the rateable property of the area rated, or only the product of the penny rate after the allowance of half the amount on agricultural land has been made.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E

The answer to my hon. friend is that the latter of the two alternatives the latter of the alternatives that he suggests is the correct one.
