HC Deb 11 January 1916 vol 77 c1448
30. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the higher rate of interest now being paid on Government securities, the rates for commuting Land Tax and tithe rent-charge will be reconsidered and greater inducements held out to commute these annual payments for sums lower than those previously asked?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Montagu)

My hon. Friend's suggestions, which it would require legislation to put into effect, will be borne in mind.
