HC Deb 04 May 1914 vol 62 cc27-8
68. Mr. F. HALL (Dulwich)

asked the Prime Minister whether legislation will be introduced in the present Session, and, if so, when, with a view to making it clear that builders' profits are exempt from Increment Duty under the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, and that such duty is only to be levied on the increment of value accruing to land from the enterprise of the community or the landowners' neighbours?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot add anything to the reply given to this question by my hon. Friend the Secretary to the Treasury on the 19th March.

Mr. F. HALL

Is the House to understand from the word "shortly" that legislation is to be brought in during this Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

I hope so, Sir.
