HC Deb 18 November 1931 vol 259 cc846-7
34. Captain CAZALET

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he intends to repeal that part of the Finance Act, 1931, which concerns the appointment of valuers in respect to the taxation of land values?

35. Mr. MARJORIBANKS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he proposes to repeal or amend that part of the Finance Act (No. 1), 1931, which deals with land valuation and taxation?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Major Elliot)

I will answer these questions together. I would refer the hon. Members to the reply given yesterday to the hon. Member for East Dorset (Mr. Hall-Caine).

Captain CAZALET

If I put down a similar question in a week's time, will the hon. and gallant Gentleman be able to give a more satisfactory answer?

Major ELLIOT

I shall be glad to see the question put down again, but I can give no pledge as to the satisfactory nature of the answer.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

Is the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that his life will continue to be made miserable by these questions, until some decision is reached?
