HC Deb 24 March 1937 vol 321 c2906
110. Mr. Parker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that Schedule B (On occupation of lands) is now being demanded of cricket and other sports clubs in Romford on the full rental of their buildings and playing fields, without any deduction for the rental value of their buildings (pavilions, &c.) included in the rent paid; that these clubs are already paying under Schedule A (Property Tax) and Schedule D (Trade profits); that many of these clubs will be forced into bankruptcy and disbanded if these new demands are enforced; and whether he will take these facts into consideration in his forthcoming budget?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Margesson)

I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend is inquiring into the case in the Romford district which he thinks has given rise to the hon. Member's question, and he will let him have a further communication about it as soon as possible.
