HC Deb 13 May 1909 vol 4 cc2135-6W
Sir PHILIP MAGNUS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the event of a man selling a piece of land on one side of a town for more than £50 an acre on which, after valuation, he makes a profit, and a piece of land on another side of the town on which, after valuation, he makes an equal loss, he will be taxed 20 per cent on his profit notwithstanding his loss?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I think it would be better that the hon. Member should wait for information of this kind until the Finance Bill is in the hands of the House.
