§ Mr. LANE-FOXasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether instructions have been issued to all district valuers of land under the Finance Act, 1909, to insist that in all notices of objection to provisional valuations the objector must state the amendment that he requires in terms of money; and under what Section of the Finance Act this demand is made?
Mr. MASTER MANSection 27 (2) of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, lays down that notices of objection should contain and is brought to the notice of owners who do not state specifically the amendments they desire to provisional valuations. No instructions have been issued to valuers in conflict with this Section or insisting on any more definite statement than it requires.
