HC Deb 14 July 1915 vol 73 c825
32. Mr. KING

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in connection with the proposal to impose special taxation on increased profits due to the War, he will specially consider the case of tithe owners, whose income from commuted tithe rent-charge will be substantially increased by the rise of corn prices which the War has caused?

Mr. McKENNA

I regret that I am unable to anticipate the scope of any taxation that may be imposed.

Mr. KING

Will the right hon. Gentleman study this carefully?
