§ Colonel HICKMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that, in the case of a licence holder brewing his beer in a brewhouse adjoining his house, and where the licensed house and the brewhouse are assessed separately for Poor Law purposes, the Inland Revenue are, for the purpose of Property Tax, assessing them as one, thereby considerably increasing the Licence Tax, which same action is putting an extra tax on the man who brews his own beer on the premises; and if he proposes to take any steps to alter this procedure?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEIf the hon. and gallant Member will furnish me with particulars of a specific case where such action is being taken by the District Commissioners, I will cause inquiry to be made.
