HC Deb 31 August 1909 vol 10 c179
Mr. GRETTON

asked the right hon. Gentleman how many officials have been already appointed permanently or temporarily for the purposes of Part I. of the Finance Bill?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

None, Sir.

Mr. GRETTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if Government property will be valued for the purposes of Part I. of the Finance Bill.

Mr. HOBHOUSE

Yes, Sir.

Mr. GRETTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if land used for miniature or long-range rifle ranges will be subject to the Reversion Duty, the Increment Duty, or the Undeveloped Land Duty?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The question whether such land would be subject to any of the duties specified would depend on the facts of the individual cases when duly ascertained.

Mr. GRETTON

Would land owned by the Government be treated differently from land owned by a private individual?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

In both cases it would depend upon circumstances.
