§ 47. Sir W. de FRECEasked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce any fresh legislation in the present Session; and, if so, what?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is proposed to introduce and pass into law before the adjournment a Finance Bill to give effect to any recommendation of the Committees appointed under the Safeguarding of Industries procedure. If time permit, other small Bills will be taken.
Captain BENNIs it intended to wait until all the Committees have reported before introducing; the Finance Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am afraid that I must ask for notice of that question. It is quite obvious that by the time the Bill is introduced there could only be included those on which the Committees have reported.
§ Mr. MACKINDERCan this House have the evidence which has been submitted to the Committees before we consider the Bill?
§ Mr. STEPHENIs the Prime Minister able to state that there is going to be any legislation with regard to the excessive rents that people are paying for hovels in Scotland?
