HC Deb 28 November 1911 vol 32 cc330-59

As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

Mr. SCOTT DICKSON

had given notice to move the following new Clause:—

(Power of Assessing Authority to Collect Assessments by Instalments from Certain Owners and Occupiers.)

The Amendment which stands in my name is one which would largely, I think, facilitate the carrying out of an experiment in the collection of municipal assessments by instalments. It would ease the matter for many poor ratepayers generally, but, as I understand, the Government are not prepared to accept the Amendment and do not seem to believe there is the slightest advantage in discussing it, I do not propose to move.
