HC Deb 13 September 1909 vol 10 cc1727-8
Mr. HART-DAVIES

asked whether friendly societies, which have invested some of their funds in land, and draw ground rents from the houses situated on their land, would be regarded as using and occupying such land so as to bring them under the purview of Clause 25 of the Finance Bill?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. HART-DAVIES

Do I understand that only land actually occupied will be dealt with?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

That is so.
