§ Mr. HORNERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Commissioners of Valuation must take into consideration in making their valuation the estimate furnished by any owner of land of the total value or site value, or both, of the land; whether the Commissioners of Valuation in Ireland have given all owners of taxable land any, and, if so, what intimation that they will receive such estimates; and whether he will direct the Commissioners to make no provisional valuation of any property in Ireland without first giving the owner notice that he is entitled, within a reasonable specified time, to furnish his 2006W estimate of the total value or site value, or both, of the land?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Before making any valuation the owner will be given an opportunity of sending in his own estimate of value, and will have a reasonable time for doing so. This has already been done in a few thousand cases.
