§ Mr. HAYES FISHERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the amounts received up to the 31st March last under each head of the Land Value Duties in respect of property in the administrative county of London, or, in the alternative, the amounts collected in London?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe information is not at the moment available, but can, if the right hon. Gentleman presses for it, be obtained at some expenditure of time and labour.
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when, having regard to the fact that as from 1st April, 1914, one-half of the proceeds of the Land Value Duties is to be appropriated for the benefit of local authorities in the United Kingdom, he proposes to lay before Parliament his proposals for the allocation thereof amongst local authorities?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe considerations still operate which led to the enactment of Section 16 of the Revenue Act, 1911. It is proposed to include in the forthcoming Revenue Bill a provision prolonging the operation of that Section till 31st March, 1915.
