HC Deb 18 August 1909 vol 9 cc1372-3
Mr. JAMES O'CONNOR

asked the Prime Minister whether Ireland is to be included in the valuation proposed in the Finance Bill; if so, will the valuation be carried out by an Irish staff of valuers; and if he can say what department in Ireland will be charged with the duty of conducting the valuation?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the latter part, I may refer the hon. Member to the reply on this subject which my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave on the 16th instant to the hon. Member for North Armagh.
