HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 cc1200-1
Colonel LOCKWOOD

asked what steps are being taken to form a complete register of owners and other persons interested in land, which becomes necessary for the purpose of increment and revision duties?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The matter is in the hands of the Board of Inland Revenue.

Colonel LOCKWOOD

asked what is the estimated cost of a complete register of the owners and other persons interested in land, with full details of the various interests concerned, for Scotland, Ireland, and England respectively.

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

As I have already informed the House, I am providing £50,000 this year in connection with my proposals relating to land. Until further progress has been made it is not possible to say what the total ultimate cost will be.
