§ Paragraphs (1),(2) and (3) of Rule four of the Rules applicable to Cases I. and II. of Schedule D (which provides for adjustment of Income Tax in cases where Excess Profits Duty has been paid), shall have effect as if references therein to Excess Profits Duty included Corporation Profits Tax.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYMight we have a word of explanation?
§ Mr. BALDWINThis Clause means exactly what it says. In the calculation of Income Tax the Corporation Profits Tax is deducted in the same way as the Excess Profits Duty.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODThat is not enough. I think everyone in this Committee is uncertain how the Corporation Profits Tax is to be deducted. Is it to fall solely on one class of shares, and, if so, how is this Clause to be interpreted?
§ Mr. BALDWINThat is a point which surely must arise when we come to discuss 1572 the Clause dealing with the Corporation Profits Tax.
§ Sir F. BANBURYThis Clause says "shall have effect as if references therein to Excess Profits Duty included Corporation Profits Tax."
Supposing, when Clause 44, which deals with the Corporation Profits Tax, is reached, the Committee reject that Clause, what is going to happen to this Clause, which contains a reference to something which is afterwards rejected? I hope we are not, by assenting to this, going in any way to prejudice our power to reject the Corporation Profits Tax, when we come to it.
§ Mr. BALDWINOf course not.
§ Sir F. BANBURYIf the Corporation Profits Tax is rejected—personally, I hope it will be greatly modified, if not rejected altogether—it will look a little curious to see a reference in an Act of Parliament to a tax which does not exist. I would suggest that the proper thing to do is to adjourn this Clause until the Corporation Profits Tax has been discussed. We are really putting the cart before the horse. If we are really going to pass the Corporation Profits Tax then we ought to put this Clause in. But I venture to suggest that it would be far better to adjourn this Clause until we have dealt with the Clause dealing with the Corporation Profits Tax.
§ Mr. BALDWINOf course, it is very difficult for me to deal with the course of the Debate in the same way as my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have been able to do in answering a point like this. But I can say that if the Corporation Profits Tax Clause be not passed, my right hon. Friend would be placed in a difficulty because, as it is one of the principal Clauses, if it were defeated he would have to reconsider his position.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODI beg to move. "That the Clause be postponed."
§ Colonel WEDGWOODMay I say that I think it is most desirable that we should not pass this Clause now, because no one understands it, and because this Corporation Profits Tax is a matter in great 1573 dispute. I do not know whether the right hon. Gentleman the Financial Secretary to the Treasury is fully aware of the fact, but there is a much stronger feeling against it than there is even against the Excess Profits Duty. To press this Clause at this time when it mentions the Corporation Profits Tax, seems to me to be most improper. I agree with my right hon. Friend (Sir F. Banbury) that we ought to postpone the Clause, and that the proper time to deal with the matter will be on a future Clause. In view of the strong objection to passing the Clause now, I shall oppose it. We cannot move now, I understand, to postpone it, and, therefore, I shall vote in the lobby against it.
§ Sir F. BANBURYIs there anything to prevent an hon. Member, in the discussion on the Motion that the Clause stand part of the Bill, moving that the Clause be adjourned? I think we can move to adjourn the discussion on this particular Clause.
The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANI do not think that would be possible. I do not think a Motion that the Debate on the Motion that the Clause stand part of the Bill be postponed would be in order, nor would it be usual to move at that stage that the Clause be postponed. The question that the Clause stand part of the Bill has been proposed from the Chair.
§ Sir D. MACLEANI do not gather from what has taken place that the procedure is exactly what has been described or that that is the actual position of the Committee. No doubt the Clause has been called from the Chair and it would not be usual at that point to allow an hon. Member to move to postpone the Clause. From my own knowledge of the duties of the Chair, I quite agree that it is not usual to allow a Motion to postpone a Clause unless there is very good cause shown for it. I would suggest, however, that in this case there have been sound reasons demonstrated why the Clause should be put back. One of these is that Clause 44 deals with the Corporation Profits Tax. The Chancellor of the Exchequer when the matter was mentioned said he was going to bring up the whole of the Excess Profits Duty, Clauses 40 to 43, and postpone them until Monday. This particular Clause is linked up entirely 1574 with these Clauses and without the passing of these Clauses it is quite clear that the passing of this Clause would be no use. I should have thought that these were sound reasons for accepting the Motion to postpone the Clause although it is quite unusual.
The DEPUTY-CHAIRMANI think the reasons that have been given by the two right hon. Gentlemen who have spoken ought to have some weight with me. When the question is put from the Chair, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill," it is quite unusual to have a Motion to postpone it. The usual time to move that a Clause be postponed is when the Clause is first called from the Chair. But having heard the reasons put forward by the two right hon. Gentlemen, I think I should be right in accepting the Motion now for the postponing of the Clause.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODI beg to move, "That the Clause be postponed."
The point of Order is settled, and the Deputy-Chairman has accepted my Motion after considering the points which have been raised. I hope that the Motion I make will now have the support of the Treasury Bench.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWe are in a difficulty now with regard to the Clause as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury has just told us.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYThat is just what I was coming to. The Financial Secretary to the Treasury has told us very little about the Clause and apparently there is a great deal more in it than we have understood up to the present. I think, therefore, it ought to be postponed until the Chancellor of the Exchequer is present. I make no reflection upon the right hon. Gentleman who was in his place, but I think that after what he said the question should be postponed until the Chancellor of the Exchequer is here.
§ Question put, "That the Clause be postponed."
