§ Mr. LEWIS HASLAMasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether land held by trustees for purposes connected with buildings used for divine worship is being charged Land Tax with his sanction, in view of the exemptions granted in Acts of Parliament?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe land in question, if settled to charitable and pious uses prior to 1693, is exempt from the old Land Tax, made perpetual in 1798; but, if so settled after that date, it is chargeable under the Laws regulating the Land Tax.
