HC Deb 13 July 1910 vol 19 cc568-9W
Mr. LEWIS HASLAM

asked 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 GEORGE

The 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.
