HC Deb 31 October 1918 vol 110 cc1619-20W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is intended to introduce a Bill to prevent the ground holders from confiscating the property created by leaseholders in Great Britain at the end of their term; and whether, in view of the taxation on houses, he will consider the advisability of increasing the rates upon site values?

Mr. BALDWIN

As regards the first part of the question I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Dartford by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 22nd of October. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer to the replies given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the hon. Member for Hanley on the 23rd of January and the 13th November last.
