§ Mr. SNOWDENI beg to move to leave out Clauses 40 and 41.
That will economise a little time of the House. Clause 40 deals with the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to divert from the Road Fund a certain proportion of what he described at a luxury tax. The proposal of Clause 41 is to divert £7,000,000 for the purpose of national expenditure. I do not propose, Mr. Speaker, to make a speech. We have on previous occasions when the Bill was under discussion stated our views strongly in connection with these two Clauses, and we think that both of them are bad, and, if any difference of degree exists, that Clause 41 is the worse of the two.
§ Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Bill"
§ The House divided: Ayer, 197: Noes, 107.
