§ Mr. O'SHEEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the advisability of increasing the Increment Value Duty imposed by the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, from 20 per cent. to 40 per cent. to begin from 30th April next, and to provide in the Finance Bill of this year for further similar increases in April, 1919, and April, 1924, until the duty has been raised to 80 per cent., and so that all persons interested will have due notice?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI am afraid that I could not answer a question of this nature in anticipation of my forthcoming financial statement.
