HC Deb 25 April 1910 vol 17 cc187-8W
Mr. LAWSON

asked whether it is a necessary condition for appointment to the Valuation Department of the Inland Revenue that applicants should be members of the Surveyors' Institution; and, if so, why other professional bodies have been excluded?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The existing Valuation Branch of the Inland Revenue is composed principally of Fellows and Professional Associates of the Surveyors' Institution. The selection of the staff was governed by the requirements of the public service in connection with estate duties.
