MR. FIELD
I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will grant a Return of the old valuations and the new valuations recently made in Belfast by the Irish Valuation Commission.
MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN
There are 85,000 rateable hereditaments in Belfast, and I do not think that the value of the Return would be sufficient to justify the labour and expense which it would involve.
MR. FIELD
Then the reply is in the negative?
MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN
Yes, on the grounds I have stated.
