Payment of Rates Bill.

HC Deb 27 March 1913 vol 50 cc1821-2

47. Sir J. D. REES

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman will give facilities to the Payment of Rates Bill during the present Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative.

Sir J. D. REES

Does the right hon. Gentleman not think it fair that the ratepayers should learn the real incidence of socialistic legislation and see how it is at present masked?

The PRIME MINISTER

The question is whether I should give facilities for this Bill, and my reply is that the Government time is fully occupied.
