HC Deb 15 December 1942 vol 385 cc1776-7
51. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that property is being resold at greatly increased prices; and whether he will consider levying a tax on such unearned increments?

Sir K. Wood

I have no particular information regarding the transactions to which my hon. Friend refers, but as at present advised I am not prepared to adopt this suggestion.
