HC Deb 09 October 1941 vol 374 c1138W
Wing-Commander James

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been directed to the growing volume of purchase of, and inquiries for, agricultural land by speculative investors; and whether he will watch this situation closely with a view to considering the imposition of special taxation upon wartime transactions in agricultural land by persons or corporations not previously directly concerned with agriculture?

Sir K. Wood

I have no information as to the first part of the Question. I have taken note of the suggestion in the second part.
