HC Deb 01 July 1909 vol 7 c604
Sir HENRY KIMBER

asked what is to be considered within the intention of the Finance Bill, as the site of offices, flats, or chambers above the ground floor of buildings, and are they to be considered an interest in the land; if so, how are they to be valued; and are the Increment Duty and the Reversion Duty to attach to leases of such premises, either against the freeholder or the long leaseholder, or both?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

It is not proposed to treat offices, flats, or chambers above the ground floor of buildings as an interest in land.
