HC Deb 23 June 1910 vol 18 cc613-4W
Mr. NIELD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it will be permissible for persons holding the office of King's Tax collectors, and who concurrently carry on the business of auctioneers and valuers, to act as valuers against the Crown in the negotiation and settlement of land valuations under the Finance Act; and, if not, whether any notification will be issued to such persons to abstain from such business?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Assessors and collectors of taxes are appointed in the great majority of cases by the District Commissioners, with whose responsibility I have no power to interfere.
