HC Deb 02 March 1926 vol 192 cc1243-4
83. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what measures Lord Plumer is proposing with regard to the abolition of tithe and substitution of some form of Land Tax in Palestine; and is it the intention of this change to make land available for new settlers on easier terms?

Mr. AMERY

The question of rural taxation in Palestine is under consideration, but I am not yet in a position to make any statement on the subject.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman let me know as soon as he has any information on the subject?

Mr. AMERY

Yes, certainly.
