HC Deb 16 June 1931 vol 253 c1617
42. Sir F. HALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state what is the estimated revenue in the financial year 1933–34 from the proposed Land Tax after deducting all administrative expenses and making reasonable allowance for possible loss of revenue under Income Tax and other like heads?

Sir F. HALL
