§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can see his way to modify the conditions relating to the qualification of candidates for the position of valuers under the land Clauses of the Finance Bill in order that thoroughly qualified persons who are not Fellows of the Surveyors' Institution may not be disqualified from applying for appointments?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI think the hon. Member is under some misapprehension. No appointments are being made under the Finance Bill, and, consequently, there are no conditions to modify. The advertisement which the hon. Member probably has in mind refers to the appointment of valuers in connection with the Estate Duties.
