HC Deb 05 June 1919 vol 116 cc2206-7
65. Major BARNES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the proposed Select Committee to inquire into the working of the Land Value Duties under the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, will have power to inquire into the working of similar duties in the Dominions and other countries, and to report to this House?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The terms of reference for this Committee are not yet finally settled, but it will, of course, be competent for the Committee to take any evidence that it may think desirable for the purposes of the inquiry which is referred to it.
