HC Deb 04 February 1913 vol 47 cc1999-2000W
Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is his intention to seek to amend the Finance Act of 1909–10 in a manner that will secure such a valuation of agricultural land as will make possible the imposition of a national tax on land values?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

It would be contrary to general principle to anticipate a Budget announcement of the Government's intentions with regard to taxation, actual or prospective.
