§ Mr. PRETYMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the Referee's decision in the Plymouth case, given on the 29th ultimo, he will withdraw the White Paper instructions issued to valuers, and issue others in accordance with the Referee's interpretation of the Finance Act?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe answer to the hon. Member's question appears in Column 173 of the OFFICIAL REPORT for yesterday, and I have nothing to add to it.
§ Mr. PRETYMANNo answer to the question has reached me. The question was postponed, and I would like the right hon. Gentleman to explain how it came to be answered through the OFFICIAL REPORT. May I ask whether the site value on the occasion was made in accordance with the White Paper issued to the valuers?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI cannot answer that without notice. With regard to the first part of the hon. Gentleman's question, I have to say that I received no notice of the postponing of the question on the Paper, and as the question had not been reached at a quarter before four o'clock I handed it in the usual way to be printed with the Written Answers. If the hon. Gentleman would like a copy of the answer, I will let him have it this afternoon.
