HC Deb 26 November 1919 vol 121 c1825W
MR. LYNN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government have taken any steps with a view to repealing the Land Clauses in the Finance Act, 1909–10, and seeing that these Clauses are largely responsible for the present scarcity of houses?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The hon. Member is probably aware that the future of these Clauses has been referred to a Select Committee of the House for considration and report.
