HC Deb 08 February 1904 vol 129 cc597-8
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will consider the advisability of reappointing a Town Holdings Committee to consider and report upon the existing terminable leasehold system and the taxation of land values.

* MR. AKERS DOUGLAS

I can only repeat the reply which the Prime Minister gave in July†last to this Question—viz., that, while he does not underrate the importance of the question, he is not prepared to recommend the appointment of a Committee. I am aware of nothing that has since occurred to alter that view.
