§ 32. Mr. ROYDSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the event of Parliament not making provision for dividing the rateable value of land or of such division not being completed by the 30th September, 1915, he is, under the increased scheme of taxation in the Finance Bill, raising a sum of approximately £8,000,000, for which there is no definite scheme of allocation; and whether there is any precedent for such a course?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI can add nothing to the explanations of the financial proposals of the Government which have already been given.
§ Mr. ROYDSIs it not the fact that the right hon. Gentleman is levying additional taxation in advance for objects and on conditions which have not been approved by Parliament?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI hope that they will be approved by Parliament before next year.
