HC Deb 03 April 1913 vol 51 c546
90. Mr. KING

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has become aware of the increased values of medical practices owing to the National Insurance Act; and whether, with a view of securing to the State some part of an increased value which the State has conferred, he will consider the propriety of imposing in his forthcoming Budget an Increment Duty on transferred medical practices?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am well aware that medical practices have increased in value owing to the National Insurance Act, but I am unable to adopt the suggestion contained in the last part of the question.

Mr. KING

Why not treat all parties alike? Why treat your enemies, or those why say they are enemies, with greater generosity than other people?
