HC Deb 18 August 1909 vol 9 c1376
Mr. LANE-FOX

asked whether half of the proceeds of the Mineral Rights Duty will be distributed among all the local authorities, or whether it will be restricted to the mining districts from which it is collected?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The distribution of the duty in question will follow that of the other taxes imposed by Part I. of the Finance Bill—that is, the half of the proceeds will be distributed among all the local authorities.
