HC Deb 05 May 1909 vol 4 cc1167-8W
Mr. LANE-FOX

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the comparative proportion paid by rateable property and that paid by other property towards Imperial taxation; and what was the proportion paid by rateable property towards local taxation as compared with that paid from the Imperial Exchequer in the past financial year?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

No recent figures are available which would enable me to furnish the hon. Member with a reliable estimate on this subject. He will, however, find a calculation which may be of interest to him at page 211 of the Report of the Royal Commission on Local Taxation, which was published in 1900 (Cd. 201).
