HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 c1640
57. Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the advisability of utilising the National Register for the purpose of calling upon everyone on the register to declare the value of his possessions, including an assessment of the value of land?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer is in the negative.

62. Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is taking steps to have the National Register kept up to date in view of the fact that it provides machinery by which an assessment of capital value can be expeditiously obtained for the purpose of taxation?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The law requires that the National Register shall be kept up to date, and this is being done.
