§ 11. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the small return to the State of the work done by the clerks in the Land Valuation Department, he can see his way to suspend their operations over the War and allow those coming within the enlistment age to have the opportunity of serving their country at the front?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI have really replied to this fallacy so often, and the fact is so obvious, that I do not think I can bore the House by repeating it.
