§ Mr. A. H. SCOTTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the coming Finance Bill, it is proposed to make provision for the allocation amongst the local authorities of the one-half of the net proceeds of the duties on Land Values to be paid to them under the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGENo, Sir. As explained in my Budget speech, I propose, in view of the special circumstances created by the delay in the passage of the Finance Act, to substitute as a temporary measure in the present year a fixed Grant in place of the moiety of the Land Value Duties assigned under that Act to local authorities.
