HC Deb 09 July 1919 vol 117 c1807
47. Mr. TREVELYAN THOMSON

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government is prepared to amend the Housing, Town Planning, etc., Bill, for England and Wales so that the whole of the additional powers which are granted to Scotland in its Housing, Town Planning, etc., Bill may be equally available for England and Wales?

Mr. BONAR LAW

In view of the delay which it would involve, I think it would not be right to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion.

Mr. THOMSON

Will steps be taken to give England the same powers as Scotland?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not think it would be desirable to delay the Bill for the sake of these Amendments.
