*MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

I do not want to detain the Committee now, but I give Notice to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that when the Bill comes before the House in Committee I shall raise the question of differential rates as between industrial incomes and, spontaneous incomes—as between incomes from capital and from industry; and unless I get some satisfactory indication that the subject will be considered, I hope to take a Division.

Question put, and agreed to.
