§ MR. WEDGWOODI beg to ask the Prime Minister when it is intended to introduce the Land Valuation Bill for England.
§ MR. ASQUITHAfter full consideration the Government have come to the conclusion that as no effective progress could be made with the Bill this year, it will be better to postpone its introduction until next session.
§ MR. WEDGWOODreminded the right hon. Gentleman that several promises were given before the holidays that this Bill should be dealt with this session. What was the reason for the altered decision?
§ MR. ASQUITHreplied that one was the regrettable indisposition of the President of the Local Government Board, which lasted for over a month.
