Major BARNESasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether, in view of the fact that no transfer of land and buildings on death or sale takes place without the Treasury obtaining, through the Board of Inland Revenue, an opinion of value from the Valuation Department of that Board, he will give instructions that no surplus land or buildings are to be disposed of on sale without first obtaining an opinion of value from the Valuation Branch of the Board of Inland Revenue?
§ Mr. JAMES HOPEI regret that I do not see my way to adopt the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion.
