HC Deb 04 March 1925 vol 181 c475W
Colonel DAY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that many houses in London let out in Rats and tenements where the owner or his agent pay the Inhabited House Duty direct to the collector of taxes charge the same as a portion of the rent; and whether he is prepared to take steps that the tenants under such circumstances shall have the full advantage of the abolition of this tax?

Mr. GUINNESS

I am afraid that I cannot see my way to intervene in the matter to which the hon. and gallant Member refers. It is relatively unimportant and will in any event correct itself in due course.
