HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 c142W
77. Mrs. Mann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that the purchase price of houses for sale with vacant possession is still increasing, and that cessation of building houses for sale is encouraging still further increases; and if he will now take steps to recover for the national Exchequer some of the profit derived therefrom.

Mr. Jay

I am not prepared to anticipate my right hon. and learned Friend's next Budget statement.
