HC Deb 06 June 1907 vol 175 cc859-60
MR. YOUNGER (Ayr Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether any estimates have been called for from the Scottish assessors of the extra cost to them involved in the separation of land values under the Land Values (Scotland) Bill; what is the total amount of such estimates; and how the extra charge will be met.

I beg also to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether any estimates have been called for from the Scottish assessors of the cost to the individual owners of land values involved in the separation of such land values under the Land Values (Scotland) Bill; and whether he will print and circulate with the Votes the particulars of such estimates.

MR. J. A. PEASE (for Mr. SINCLAIR)

No such estimates have been called for. The cost of obtaining the new informa- tion will be defrayed from the same sources as the existing expenditure on valuation.
