Mr. Pageasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what gain or loss there would be in revenue and the annual cost of administration if Schedule A tax upon property, other than owner-occupied dwelling-houses and owner-occupied business promises, were abolished, and if the tax were dealt with under Schedule D on the basis of income expenditure.
