HC Deb 17 August 1909 vol 9 c1090
Sir HENRY KIMBER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has observed that, under Clause 14, Section (3), of the Finance Bill land held by conveyance from a railway company, subject to a covenant not to build within a certain distance from a tunnel, would be taxed by the Bill for not building, and yet the owner would not be protected from an injunction by the railway company if he does build; and whether this is intended?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

My right hon. Friend does not agree that the effect of the Bill would be as suggested by the hon. Baronet.
