HC Deb 09 July 1914 vol 64 cc1241-2W
Sir JOHN ROLLESTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in Clause 1, line 10, of the Revenue Bill, the term rateable value is intended to have the same meaning as is attached to it under the Parochial Assessment Act, 1836?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The answer is in the affirmative. Rateable value is a general term which is quite well known and is used in the Schedule to the Parochial Assessment Act, 1836, and also in the Metropolis Valuation Act, 1869.

Sir JOHN ROLLESTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is proposed to make use of the full site value as adjusted in Clause 1 (a) of the Revenue Bill for the assessment of rates?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I cannot anticipate the general proposals with regard to rating which the Government propose to place before the House.
