HC Deb 27 February 1939 vol 344 c917W
Mr. Barnes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps, if necessary by legislation, to enable the Treasury to make the same contribution to local authorities in lieu of rates for property occupied by the Territorial Army as in the case of the Regular Army?

Captain Wallace

In view of the general settlements in recent years of the financial relations of the State and local authorities, my right hon. Friend does not see his way to make the concession suggested in this question.
