HC Deb 31 March 1925 vol 182 cc1097-8
50. Mr. GRIFFITHS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been drawn to a recent sale in the City of London where land realised £60 and £70 per foot; and whether he proposes to introduce legislation for the taxation of land values for revenue purposes in order to enable the nation to derive some advantages from unearned increments obtained from such sources?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Govan on the 16th December, of which I am sending him a copy.

Mr. MACLEAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman not refer the hon. Gentleman who asked the question to some of the speeches which he himself made in advocating the Land Budget?
