§ 37. Mr. JOHN WARDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, having regard to the undertaking of the Unionist Government that the bonus of £18,000,000, provided for landlords selling estates in Ireland should be an Imperial and not an Irish charge, whether he will consider the propriety of imposing in the next Budget a special charge upon that interest, seeing landlords are the only persons to derive financial benefit from the undertaking?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI am afraid I can at present make no statement in regard to my Budget proposals for the coming year.
§ Mr. J. WARDWill the right hon. Gentleman promise to keep the matter in mind?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEOh, I have got it in mind.
