§ 47. Mr. HORNERasked whether, if the Government of Ireland Bill becomes law, the Irish Parliament will have power to levy in Ireland a land tax, inhabited house duty, and railway passenger duty, from which Ireland is now exempt?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe answer is in the affirmative. The Irish Parliament will have power to impose in Ireland any independent tax not substantially the same in character as an Imperial tax levied in Ireland.
