§ Mr. LYNNasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the effect upon the provision of houses in all parts of the United Kingdom of the Land Value Duties; and whether, as the collection of these duties has cost about £500,000 more than the entire revenue, he will consider the advisability of abolishing them immediately, and thereby facilitate the solution of the housing problem?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINAs I announced in my Budget statement, this subject is being referred to a Select Committee of this House, and I propose to await their Report before taking action.
