HC Deb 03 June 1913 vol 53 cc769-70
28. Mr. FITZROY

asked whether, on a claim arising for Reversion Duty, an independent valuation has to be made, and none of the values directed to be ascertained as at 30th April, 1909, under the provisions of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, apply; and whether, apart from arrears of Undeveloped Land Duty, the sum he has estimated to receive from Reversion Duty for the current year amounts to nearly one-half of the total sum estimated to be received from Land Value Duties?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The valuation necessary for purposes of Reversion Duty is an independent valuation made by reference to the circumstances existing at the date of the determination of the lease; it is, however, ascertained in the same manner as the total value as at 30th April, 1909. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
