HC Deb 03 August 1909 vol 8 cc1705-6
Mr. LEVY LEVER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can give any information as to which local authorities it is proposed to allot the one moiety of the revenue to be derived from the Land Taxes?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

This question is under consideration, and my right hon. Friend cannot at the moment supply the information asked for by my hon. Friend.

Mr. LEVY LEVER

Arising out of that answer may I ask the hon. Member whether he will consider the advisability of allocating this moiety to the local authorities that have suffered by the holding up and non-development of land in their immediate districts?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I will bring what my hon. Friend says to the notice of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
