HC Deb 27 April 1910 vol 17 c600W
Mr. HARMOOD-BANNER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the fact that, in making payments out of the proposed taxes on land to make up the deficiencies of the Whisky Tax for educational purposes, he will be penalising the county and non-county boroughs, on whose land the tax will be mainly levied, in favour of the counties where agricultural land is relieved from taxation; and what steps he proposes to take to remedy the inequality which will arise?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I do not agree with the hon. Member that there is any inequality to remedy in this matter.
