§ In the valuation for rating purposes of any small holding constituted under this Act, the value of any building or equipment made or provided subsequent to the acquisition of the land under this Act shall not be included.
§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANThe next Amendment is outside the scope of the Bill.
Mr. WHITEOn a point of Order. May I submit that as this is a Bill to set up small holdings and to make them a success we are entitled to consider the conditions of success? It has been suggested that small holdings should be established 1559 as market gardens near large towns. If glasshouses were erected for that purpose and the holding were assessed at a higher rate, and the holder was then rated on his improvements, it would make the holdings commercially impossible for that purpose.
§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANThe point of Order is that this is proposing legislation which affects the general law of rating, and is therefore outside the scope of this Bill.
§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANI have ruled on it.
§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANI do not think that the hon. and learned Member has any right to argue with me. I have heard him and given my decision.
§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANNo.
