Mr. KINGasked 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.
