HC Deb 06 July 1911 vol 27 c1325
Sir RANDOLF BAKER asked

the Prime Minister when he intends to proceed with the Finance Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am unable to fix a date as yet.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he thinks the taxation of the people is a proper subject to be relegated to the dog days?

Sir R. BAKER

Are we to understand from the Prime Minister that the business of the control of finance by this House is to become a purely secondary matter?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.

Sir FREDERICK BANBURY

Is there any foundation for the rumour that the right hon. Gentleman intends to withdraw the Finance Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.
