HC Deb 26 May 1909 vol 5 c1198
Lord ROBERT CECIL

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Development Bill will be introduced this evening, as well as the Finance Bill; or will it be introduced in any case before the second reading of the Finance Bill is taken?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The Development Bill will not be drafted until the Resolution has been carried. Therefore it cannot possibly be introduced.

Lord R. CECIL

May I ask whether we shall be asked to vote for the second reading of the Bill that is to impose motor and petrol taxes without knowing what are the provisions by which the Government propose to put into their Bill as to the allotment of these taxes?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The one Bill is to raise money; the other Bill is to expend it. They are two totally different propositions.
