HC Deb 23 January 1967 vol 739 c167W
9. Mr. Eyre

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources what he estimates will be the annual yield from the Land Commission levy upon the sale by owner-occupiers of dwellinghouses with up to one acre of land; and what is the estimated annual cost to the Land Commission of such collection.

Mr. Wiley

It is not possible to estimate this. In the great majority of cases no liability for levy will arise on transactions related to owner-occupied houses, because no development value will be realised.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources what is his estimate of the gross annual yield of the levy under the Land Commission Bill in respect of transactions relating to owner-occupied houses.

Mr. Willey

I would refer the right hon. Member to the Answer given today in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Birmingham, Hall Green (Mr. Eyre).

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources what proportion of the yield of the levy imposed by the Land Commission Bill he proposes to allocate to local authorities; and what is his estimate of the amount which he will so make available in the first full year.

Mr. Willey

I would refer the right hon. Member to the Answer given today in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Salford, East (Mr. Frank Allaun).
