HC Deb 05 May 1920 vol 128 c2087W
Sir E. NICHOLL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the fact that the Valuation Department has been run at a loss during the whole period of its existence, he will consider closing the Department down and thus saving many thousands of pounds?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave yesterday upon this subject to the hon. Member for Newcastle North (Mr. Doyle).
