HC Deb 28 October 1909 vol 12 c1243

Sub-section (5) of Section twelve of the principal Act which relates to the assessment of duty by the Commissioners) shall have effect only so far as respects the duty in relation to which the opinion of the Commissioners has been required under that Section.

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE moved to leave out the Clause.

Sir F. BANBURY

Why is this Clause to be omitted?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I should have thought that the hon. Baronet would not have objected to the omission of any Clause of this Bill.

Sir F. BANBURY

I do not.

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The Clause has reference purely to the Increment Tax, and the Amendments which have been made render it now unnecessary.

Question, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill," put, and negatived.
