HC Deb 23 September 1909 vol 11 c602
Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the approximate amount which would be required, upon the basis of present market value, to acquire by purchase on behalf of the State the whole of the land of the United Kingdom?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

My right hon. Friend hopes to be in a position to furnish this information to the hon. Member when the valuation proposed by the Finance Bill has been duly completed.
