§ 31. Sir W. BULLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can see his way to arrange that private houses which are lent for the purpose of naval or military hospitals be free of rates and taxes while so used?
§ Mr. ACLANDPrivate houses lent for the purposes indicated are relieved entirely from Inhabited House Duty and also from Income Tax, Schedule A, except in so far as it may be deductible from ground rent or other charges. Questions relating to exemption from rates should be addressed to the President of the Local Government Board.
§ Mr. ACLANDI do not know. Perhaps my hon. Friend will put a question on the Paper.
