HC Deb 17 November 1931 vol 259 cc688-9W
Brigadier-General BROWN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fluctuating value of the pound and the impossibility of estimating any capital values two or three years ahead, he will bring in legislation to postpone valuations of land under Part III of the Finance Act, 1931, until such time as monetary conditions are more stable?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I would refer the hon. and gallant Gentleman to the answers given yesterday by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on this subject, to which I can at present add nothing.
