HC Deb 11 December 1906 vol 167 c131
DR. HAZEL (West Bromwich)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the advisability of proposing a substantial tax on all holders of hereditary titles, to be graduated according to the rank of such holders, together with a surtax on all those holders of such titles who receive a writ of summons to Parliament.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. Asquith, Fifeshire, E.)

This, like all other suggestions for tapping new reservoirs of revenue, shall receive my consideration.
