HC Deb 20 March 1912 vol 35 cc1869-70
Sir PHILIP MAGNUS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the advisability of including the keeping of school boarding-houses among occupations specified as rateable at 6d. instead of 9d. in the Schedule of the Act of 1851?

Mr. MASTERMAN

My right hon. Friend is not satisfied that there is sufficient ground for amending the law with the object of reducing the rates of Inhabited House Duty chargeable in the particular class of case to which the hon. Member refers.
