HC Deb 13 September 1909 vol 10 c1907W
Mr. LANE-FOX

asked whether the share of the proceeds of the new Land Taxes promised to the local authorities will be distributed among them on the basis of rateable value, population, or expenditure?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I hope shortly to put clauses on the Paper dealing with this question.

Mr. A. H. SCOTT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state when he intends to give notice of the clauses he will propose for insertion in the Finance Bill to give effect to his undertaking that one-half of the proceeds of the duties on land, values shall be transferred to the local authorities?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I cannot give the exact date at present; but I hope to put the Clauses on the Paper shortly.
