HC Deb 16 December 1911 vol 32 cc2835-6
Mr. CASSEL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in how many cases notices of appeal to referees had been given under the provisions of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, for the valuation of lands?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)

The number of appeal cases against provisional valuations is eighty-six, comprising 370 separate notices of appeal, a notice being given for each separate occupation.

Mr. CASSEL

asked how many valuations of land had been recorded by the Inland Revenue Commissioners as having been finally settled pursuant to Section 30 of The Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The records referred to by the hon. Member are at the present time kept at a large number of offices all over the kingdom, and the number of them vary from day to day. It would not be possible to supply such information as is desired without the expenditure of much time and labour, and the information would no longer be accurate by the time it had been summarised.
