§ Mr. BRIDGEMANasked why the cost of the collection of Land Values Duties other than Mineral Rights Duty cannot be distinguished from the cost of collecting the Inland Revenue generally; and if there is any reason why the so-called Land Values Duties cannot be divided in the prescribed returns of income supplied to the "London Gazette" under separate heads?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe work of assessment, collection, account and correspondence in connection with the duties in question is largely performed in the same branches of the Inland Revenue Department and by the same officers as deal with other heads of revenue, and the proportion of time and labour attributable to it cannot be distinguished from that spent on other work of the Department. With regard to the second part of the hon. Member's question, I would refer him to the answer given to him on the 28th November last by my hon. Friend the Member for the Shipley Division.
