HC Deb 07 September 1909 vol 10 c1089
Mr. CAVE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can now say that a draft of the Regulations proposed to be made under Clause 30 of the Finance Bill, for the ascertainment of the annual compensation value, will be laid upon the Table of the House before the Report stage of the Bill?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The Regulations will not be laid upon the Table of the House before Report stage.

Mr. CAVE

Why cannot it be done at present?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

As I understand, the discussion on the Clause in the Committee stage is not yet finished, and, therefore, clearly the regulations could not be made at the present moment.
