 | | The Act was a reaction to the clash between the Liberal government and the House of Lords, culminating in the so-called "People's Budget" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd George in 1909, which proposed the introduction of a land tax based on the ideas of the American tax reformer Henry George. |
 | | Since the 1949 Act was passed, doubts had been raised by legal academics as to whether the use of the 1911 Act to pass the 1949 Act, amending the 1911 Act itself, was valid. |
 | | After this, the 1949 Act, and the validity of Acts made under it, remained unchallenged until the Parliament Act was used to pass the Hunting Act 2004, when the Countryside Alliance raised the question of the validity of the 1949 Act. |
