HC Deb 29 April 1909 vol 4 cc468-9
Mr. WEDGWOOD

asked whether Cramond Island, lying off the mouth of the River Almond, which divides Dalmeny from Midlothian, has been purchased by the Government, or is under negotiations for purchase; what purchase price has been fixed, if any; what is the area of Cramond Island; and at what annual value has it been hitherto assessed for purposes of taxation under Schedule A of the Income Tax or for rates?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I beg to refer the ton, Member to the answer which I gave to a question by the hon. and learned Member for South Donegal on Monday, the 26th instant.

Mr. WEDGWOOD

With regard to the last part of the answer, can the right hon. Gentleman say what is the annual value of the assessment for the purposes of taxation under Schedule A, or for the rates?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

That I cannot say. The question does not arise.
