HC Deb 02 March 1911 vol 22 cc690-1W
Mr. NEWMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of his undertaking that owners of property in houses or land should not be pressed to give information not in their possession, he will explain why officials of the Land Valuation Department are still, on Form LXXI., demanding replies to questions the answers to which are matters of purely personal opinion, and to which they have failed to obtain an answer from Form IV.?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

Form LXXI. is for the most part issued in cases where information which was not rendered on Form IV. would assist in the making of a fair and reasonable valuation; and a further opportunity is thereby afforded to owners of supplying particulars, which it may be in their own interest to supply.
