§ Considered in Committee.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Clause I stand part of the Bill."
§ Mr. WATTI desire to ask my right hon. Friend, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, whether this Bill makes the taxes in the Isle of Man precisely the same as those which are prevalent over Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. McKinnon Wood)The fact is that the taxation of the Isle of Man is imposed by the local Legislature, and this Bill is introduced every year for the purpose of confirming their legislation. The figures of the taxes are not in all cases the same as they are in this country, they are decided, of course, by the local Government.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Remaining Clauses ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ Bill reported, without Amendment; to be read the third time to-morrow (Wednesday).
