HC Deb 14 March 1917 vol 91 c1087
59. Mr. WATT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the duty under Schedule A on lands, tenements, etc., in respect of the property thereof, which is retainable from the landlord on payment of rent, is this year being assessed on the landowners and not on the tenants; and, if so, will he say why this new course has been adopted?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The hon. Member appears to be under a misapprehension. There has been no change either in the law or in the practice in the matter to which he refers.

Mr. D. WHITE

Has there been any change in the Schedule?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I cannot answer without notice.
