HC Deb 06 May 1912 vol 38 c17
Mr. WEIGALL

asked the basis of the calculation that one-fifth of the work of valuation under The Finance Act, 1910, has been completed?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The number of hereditaments in the United Kingdom is approximately 11,000,000, and, of these, 2,218,317, or rather more than one-fifth, had been valued on 31st March last.

Mr. WEIGALL

Of that number how many are provisional and how many final valuations; am I to understand that the whole two millions are final valuations?

Mr. MASTERMAN

That I have already told the hon. Gentleman. I am unable to give definite figures, but on 31st March about 97 per cent. were final valuations.
