HC Deb 01 October 1909 vol 11 cc1634-5W
Mr. BOWLES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether land acquired by statutory waterworks companies for waterworks purposes or for protecting their area from pollution will be exempted from the provisions of the Land Clauses in the Finance Bill?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I may remind the hon. Member of the terms of the new Clause, which was debated last night, exempting from the charge to the proposed Land Values Duties "any land whilst it is held by a statutory company for the purposes of their undertaking, and cannot be appropriated by the company except to those purposes."
