HC Deb 26 August 1909 vol 9 cc2306-7
Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, on the resumption of the Finance Bill Debates, it is proposed to proceed with Clause 28, or whether its postponement will be proposed by the Government?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

It may be necessary to postpone Clause 28 in the event of Amendments being made in Clause 27, which may require that corresponding alterations in respect of Scotland should be made in Clause 28.

Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSON

If Clause 28 is not going to be postponed, will the right hon. Gentleman state when it is intended to put down the Government Amendments to it?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I am assuming that there will be Amendments to Clause 27; and, if so, there must be corresponding Amendments to Clause 28.
