§ 94. Mr. LANE-FOXasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give figures showing the additional cost of the Land Valuation Department for the years 1911–12 and 1912–13, respectively, over and above the sums voted directly for the cost of the Valuation Department?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe total cost to other Departments of Land Valuation from the passing of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, to 31st March, 1913, is estimated as follows:—
| £ | |
| Borne on Works Vote | 30,300 |
| Borne on Vote for Rates of Government Property | 7,000 |
| Borne on Stationery Office Vote | 54,200 |
| Borne on Post Office Vote | 37,500 |
| Borne on Ordnance Survey Vote | 11,000 |
| £140,000 |
§ These figures are rough approximations only, and include the cost of certain services that may perhaps amount to about £8,000, not directly connected with the original valuation. It is impossible to distinguish with any approach to accuracy the cost of the services for each of the three years during which the valuation has been in progress.
