HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 c1257W
Mr. SITCH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the representations made to him regarding the scope of the inquiry of the Select Committee on Land Values; and whether it is proposed to widen the terms of referene in order that the Committee may have power to recommend new taxation?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The Government have considered representations made to them by the Chairman, but it appeared to us that the terms of reference approved by the House were sufficiently wide to enable the Committee to make such recommendations as it might desire.
