HC Deb 30 April 1923 vol 163 c999W
Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated amount of the grant of £2,750,000 to be paid by the Treasury in relief of agricultural rates, which will be received by rural areas and urban areas respectively, based on last year's returns?

Lord E. PERCY

For the reasons which my right hon. Friend gave the hon. Member last Thursday, he is unable to make any reliable estimate of allocation as between urban and rural areas.
