§ 51. Mr. RENDALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, owing to the alleged patriotic conduct of landlords in not raising farming rents, great loss accrues to the Exchequer, because Income Tax payable by farmers is in most cases being levied on rents fixed before post-war days of prosperity, and Income Tax and Super-tax payable by landlords is consequentially reduced; and can he contrive means to correct this?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have no information which bears out the hon. Member's suggestion that there is any considerable loss of revenue through the causes mentioned in the question, and I do not see that any action can be taken in the matter.
