Mineral Rights Duty (Exemption of Gravel).

HC Deb 16 June 1910 vol 17 c1470

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

asked whether the exemption of gravel from mineral rights duty included all stone used for mending roads?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The answer is in the negative, except as regards the minerals specified in Section 20, Subsection (5) of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Is there any reason why the exemption should be confined to roads?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

That is an argumentative question which would toe more pertinent to a discussion on the Finance Act.
