HC Deb 14 August 1911 vol 29 cc1723-4W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will place at the disposal of the Committee on Local and Imperial Taxation the valuations of a few typical urban and agricultural areas which may have been completed, in a form which will not disclose the names of owners or any confidential information, for the purpose of comparing the results of the present system of rating with the results to the same areas which would follow the substitution of land values as the sole basis of assessment, or whether he will furnish such valuations to Members desirous of giving evidence before the Committee?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The valuations of urban and agricultural areas are not yet sufficiently advanced to enable information to be given from which useful comparisons could be made.
