Mr. F. HALL
asked whether the Land Inquiry Committee formed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer has reported upon the question of the merits and practicability of the single-tax principle?
The PRIME MINISTER
I am told that the Committee will shortly publish a Report, which will give the hon. Member the information he desires.
Mr. F. HALL
Does the constitution of the Committee preclude them from dealing with that aspect of the case?
The PRIME MINISTER
That I cannot say, but I should think not.
Mr. OUTHWAITE
Is this a question of considering the advisability of taxing the farmer for everything, and giving him nothing more for what he sells?
The PRIME MINISTER
I really know-nothing about it.
