HC Deb 14 March 1904 vol 131 cc978-9
MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will grant the Return relating to the Local Taxation Account which appears on the Notice Paper to-day.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH,) Derbyshire, W.

I shall be ready to give the Return, subject to some small modifications upon which I will communicate with the hon. Member.

The Return referred to is as follows:—

include the evidence taken up to the present time; and will the Report contain any expression of opinion by the Commissioners as to the effect of the imposition of the coal duty on the trade.

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

I hope that the Second Report of the Coal Commission will be printed this week. It will be a merely formal Report submitting evidence, on the lines of the first Report. It will contain evidence given before the Commission up to the 21st of October last. The Report will not deal with the coal tax, as no evidence on the tax had been taken before October last.
