PETITION (BETTING DUTY).
Mr. SULLIVAN: I beg to present a petition, as followeth:
"Unto the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain in Parliament assembled.
The humble petition of the Kirk Session of Carmyle United Free Church showeth that your petitioners view with alarm the proposals to raise Imperial revenue by the imposition of a tax on betting transactions, because the habit of betting and gambling is already very widespread, and is doing serious hurt to the well-being of the nation.
Because your petitioners believe that to raise revenue by such a tax would tend to root the harmful practice more deeply in the nation's life, your petitioners humbly pray your honourable House to reject the aforesaid proposals, and your petitioners will ever pray.
ROBERT BARR, Moderator.
W. A. TOED, Session Clerk."

ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.

  PARLIMIENTARY PAPERS (EMERGENCY ARRANGEMENTS).
  Major Sir HARRY BARNSTON (Controller of the Household): May I ask Mr. Speaker, what arrangements you have been able to make for the printing and publication of the Votes and Proceedings
  Mr. SPEAKER: A very limited number of Order Papers have been printed, under some difficulty. A copy has been placed in the Library, and one in the Vote Office for the use of Members. I will call hon. Members by name and the number of their questions, seeing that they will not have the Order Paper themselves. Similar arrangements will be possible, I hope, for to-morrow. After that, other arrangements may have to be made. I cannot hold out any hope of circulating papers as usual.
  I should like to add that it will facilitate the task of bringing out the papers if hon. Members will abstain, as far as they can, from putting down questions. Urgent questions, of course, can be asked by private notices as usual.

  TRADE AND COMMERCE.

    IMPORTED BUTTONS.
    Colonel DAYasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that large quantities of buttons made from the congealed blood of animals are being imported into this country from Germany and Czechoslovakia; and, in view of the danger incurred by the use of buttons of this form of manufacture, will he consider steps to prevent their importation?
    The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister): My attention has not hitherto been drawn to this matter. If the hon. Member will let me have the data on which his question is based, I shall be happy to consider it.
    Mr. HARRIS: Could we not have the questions read, Mr. Speaker?
    HON. MEMBERS: No.
    Mr. SPEAKER: I think hon. Members may be trusted to know the wording of their own question.
    Mr. HARRIS: But other Members do not know what are the questions.

  TUNGSTEN STEFL (IMPORTATION).
  Mr. COMPTONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a firm in Czechoslovakia is exporting to this country large quantities of tungsten steel consigned under the category of steel, but which are really ferro alloys of tungsten, containing from 14 to 22 per cent. of tungsten, are
  186
  liable to duty; and whether any intimation has been received from the Poldi Hutte Company that their high-speed steel contains tungsten?
  Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: I have no information as to the particular importations mentioned, but tungsten steel is not subject to duty on importation.

  SAFEGUARDING OF INDUSTRIES.

    KEY INDUSTRIES.
    Mr. DALTONasked the President of the Board of Trade, whether the Committee which considered the question of key industries took any steps, before issuing their Report, to consult those interests which are opposed to the duties; and, if so, can he state the names of those who were consulted and the interests they represent?
    Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: As stated in paragraph 9 of the Report of the Committee, detailed statements were received from a, number of individual users and associations of users of the various classes of commodities to which the Report relates. Evidence was also furnished by the British Chemical and Dyestuffs Traders' Association, which comprises a large number of firms importing chemical products.

    WORSTED GOODS.
    Viscount SANDONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that the Government stated last year that the terms of the White Paper on safeguarding need not be slavishly but only generally adhered to, and that in the case of the lace inquiry all of the requirements were not found to be fulfilled, though a duty was imposed, he will impose a duty on imported worsted goods, seeing that all the conditions except one have been found by the inquiry committee to have been proved to be fulfilled according to the case made out by the applicants?
    Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: I would refer My hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to the hon. Members for Bradford North (Mr. Ramsden) and Barnstaple (Mr. B. Peto) on the 27th April, of which I am sending him a copy.
    Viscount SANDON: This reply does not cover all the points in my question.

    GLOVES.
    Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade the average price per dozen pairs at which leather gloves and fabric gloves, respectively, were imported during the first three months of 1925 and 1926, together

    The following statement shows the average declared values of the leather and fabric gloves imported during the periods named, and the duty leviable thereon in the last period at these values:—

  SCOTLAND.

    NATIONAL LIBRARY.
    Mr. JAMES STUARTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether it is the intention of the Government that expenditure in future years on the National Library of Scotland should be limited to the amount of the revenue derived from the Endowment Fund?
    The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour): The answer is in the negative. As far as general financial conditions permit, His Majesty's Government, who have undertaken to maintain the Library, will be prepared in future years to invite Parliament to meet necessary charges in connection with the Library by the provision of funds to supplement the income from the present and any future endowment. I may point out that in the Estimates for the present year a sum of nearly£7,000 is provided from public funds in supplement of the endowment revenue. This sum represents the cost of maintenance services, as well as of necessary structural alterations and improvements mainly directed towards minimising the risk of fire.

    SMALL HOLDINGS.
    Major Sir ARCHIBALD SINCLAIRasked the Secretary for Scotland whether
    188
    with the average amount of duty per dozen pairs in 1926?
    Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: This answer also contains a table of figures, and, with my hon. Friend's permission, I will circulate it the OFFICIAL REPORT
    Following is the answer:
    his attention has been called to the recent sittings of the Land Court at Aberdeen, where five out of the eight cases before the Court were applications for resumption of small holdings; and whether, in view of the increasing number of cases of this kind coining before the Land Court, he is prepared to introduce corrective legislation this Session'?
    Sir J. GILMOUR: The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the question, I am not prepared to give any undertaking to introduce legislation on the lines suggested.

  BRITISH ARMY.

    GUNS AND RIFLES.
    Mr. PONSONBYasked the Secretary of State for War whether the Army Ordnance Department have recently sold guns and rifles to any foreign Government; and, if so, what was the extent of the order and what payment was made?
    The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans): The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part does not, therefore, arise.

    BRITISH GARRISON AT KŒNIGSTEIN.>
    Mr. PONSONBYasked the Secretary of State for War whether any reduction has been made in the British garrison at Kœnigstein, in the Rhineland, or any special arrangements made in that town to remove all excuse for further complaint?
    Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: No reduction has been made in the British garrison at Kœnigstein. There are no grounds for complaint as to undue or disproportionate requisitioning in that town, and no special arrangements are therefore called for.

    ROYAL ARTILLERY UNITS, SOUTH IRELAND.
    Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEasked the Secretary of State for War what steps have been taken to ameliorate the condition of the Royal Artillery units in the garrisons in South Ireland; and whether married officers and men are allowed to be accompanied by their families?
    Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: It has, I regret, been impossible as yet to embark on any improvements to the barracks in South Ireland occupied by British troops. As regards the second part of the question, married families are allowed to accompany officers and other ranks in cases where married quarters are available; in other cases the family is allowed to join t he husband, provided that the latter can procure suitable accommodation.
    Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE: Is the Secretary for War aware there are many places in South Ireland where married Quarters are available?
    Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: I am afraid f must have notice of that question.

    ROYAL HORSE ARTILLERY.
    Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEasked the Secretary of State for War what steps are being taken to mechanicalise certain batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery; and if the question of providing anti-tank defence to cavalry units is receiving attention?
    Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: No steps are being taken at present to mechanicalise any batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery, but experiments are being undertaken with various types of
    190
    mechanical vehicles to ascertain which types of vehicle are best suited to artillery requirements. As regards the second part of the question, the whole problem of anti-tank defence is receiving attention and experiments are in progress.

    MARRIED QUARTERS, DEVONPORT.
    Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State for War what progress is being made in the barrack accommodation at Devonport of converting the unoccupied single men's accommodation into married quarters?
    Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: I presume the hon. and gallant Member is referring to the conversion of single men's accommodation at Bull Point Barracks. The full scheme is to provide 14 additional married quarters, but, owing to financial stringency, it will not be possible to provide more than eight quarters during the current financial year.

    ROYAL ARTILIERY ARTIFICERS (PROMOTION).
    Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State tar War how long the Committee which was considering the question of promotion of Royal Artillery artificers has been sitting; and when it is expected they will present their Report?
    Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: The Committee in question which was appointed in May, 1925, to consider the rates of promotion and conditions of service of all tradesmen throughout the Army, has recently presented its Report, which is awaiting the consideration of the Army Council.

    DEATH PENALTY.
    Major KINDERSLEY(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that reports are being circulated to ex-service men's organisations to the effect that the death penalty was reimposed when the Army, (Annual) Bill was before the House of Commons, and that a number of men had been shot as a result of such reimposition?
    Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: Yes, Sir: my attention has been drawn to one such report, which is mischievous; and misleading. The Army Act, which provides for the death penalty, lapses on 30th April each year, and is continued for the ens ing year' by the Army and Air Force

    191
    (Annual) Act. This is the only sense in Street is included in the list of parking which the death penalty can be said to places scheduled to the Regulations I have been reimposed. No modification have made under the London Traffic Act whatsoever was made by the last Army which, in this instance, merely regularised and Air Force (Annual) Act to the provisions governing the death penalty, as they existed in the Army Act of the preceding year. The rumour referred to hands of in the last part of the question, that a number of men have been shot as a result of such reimposition, is devoid of any foundation whatsoever, and it is almost unthinkable that any credence could be attached to it.

  MOTOR TRAFFIC.

    PARKING PLACES (LONDON).
    Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Transport if he is in a position to make any statement on the suggestion that persons erecting large buildings in London should be compelled to provide internal parking places for motor vehicles?
    The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley): I am unable to make any statement on this matter at the present time, except that I have been in communication on the subject with the London County Council, the authority charged with the administration of the London Building Acts. The matter is still under consideration by the London Traffic Advisory Commitee.

  WHITCOMB STREET WIDENING (PARKING PLACE).
  Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALLasked the Minister of Transport when Whitcomb Street, between Coventry Street and Panton Street, was widened; what was the cost involved, and by whom this was borne; whether he is aware that, as the result of this portion of the widened street being used as a parking place for motor vehicles, the value of the improvement for through traffic purposes has been nullified; and whether his Department is responsible for this use being made of the widened roadway?
  Colonel ASHLEY: I am informed that the widening referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend was carried out in the years 1889–90 at a cost of£18,462 17s. 6d., which was borne as to one-half by the London County Council, and as to the other half by the Vestry of St. Martin-in-
  192
  the-Fields. This potion of Whitcomb Street is included in the list of parking places scheduled to the Regulation I have made under the London Traffic Act which, in this instance, merely regularised what had been the practice for some considerable time previously. The object of the Regulations was to strengthen vehicles waiting in more congested throughfares. As a result of experience gained and reprensentations received, the London Traffic Advisory Committee are reviewing the whole subject of parking places.

  TRANSPORT.

    ROUNDABOUT TRAFFIC (ACCIDENTS).
    Mr. R. MORRISONasked the Minister of Transport if he has any information as to whether the adoption of the roundabout system of traffic at various crossings in London has increased the risks of accident to foot passengers?
    Colonel ASHLEY: The effect of the adoption of the roundabout system of traffic working, including risks to pedestrians, has been under observation by the technical officers of my Department and by the police. The experience gained, as reflected in the figures of accidents, would appear to indicate that the risks of accident have been reduced, and it is hoped that this tendency may be more marked as pedestrians become more accustomed to the system.
    Captain T. J. O'CONNORasked the Minister of Transport the number of accidents tabulated as fatal, non-fatal, and involving merely injury to property, respectively, which have occurred at each point at which the roundabout system of traffic control is in operation in London since the system was put into operation: and whether he can give the corresponding figures for a similar period before the system was put into operation?
    Sir H. BARNSTON: I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Home Office. I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a return showing the accidents recorded for a period of one month from the institution of the system, as compared with the corresponding period one year previously.
    Following is the return promised:

  TUNCHAPE-FOSSWAY NEW ROAD, NOTTINGHAM.
  The Marquess of TITCHFIELDasked the Minister of Transport what sum of public money has been granted by the Ministry of Transport towards the construction of a new road from the River Trent at Tunchape to the Fossway near Bingham, Nottingham; whether the grant was accompanied by the condition that the men working on it should only be, drawn from the Nottingham Labour Exchange; and, if not, what were precisely the conditions?
  Colonel ASHLEY: A grant of£61,091 has been made towards the cost. of constructing the new road, including the bridge, from the River Trent at Tunchape to the Fossway. The grant towards the roadworks was not accompanied by the condition that the men working on it should only be drawn from the Nottingham Employment Exchange, but it was subject to the usual conditions as to the recruitment of labour through the Employment Exchanges attaching to grants for works expedited for the relief of unemployment. I am sending my Noble Friend a copy of a statement setting out these conditions in detail.
  Marquess of TITCHFIELD: Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that the withdrawal of labour from farms round about the Newark substituency is causing great dissatisfaction amongst the farmers?
  Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS: That is a point which has been very often debated. We will do all we can to prevent any hardship.

  HEAVY MOTOR VEHICLES, BATH ROAD.
  Mr. B. PETOasked the Minister of Transport whether he proposes to take any steps with regard to the heavy and continuous goods traffic by six-wheel lorries between London and Bristol on the Bath road; and whether his attention has been called to the fact that a new through daily omnibus service between London and Bristol has been instituted?
  Colonel ASHLEY: I do not think that the traffic mentioned in the first part of the question calls for any intervention on my part. As regards the second part of the question, the answer is in the affirmative.

  LEVEL CROSSINGS,
  Mr. B. PETOasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been caned to the fact that on the main west road to Exeter there are level crossings at Sunningdale, Blackwater, and Andover, and on the Bath Road a level crossing at Colnbrook; and whether, in view of the heavy traffic on these roads, he proposes to take steps to get these level crossings abolished?
  Colonel ASHLEY: I am acquainted with these four level crossings and I am glad to say that in the case of two of these localities, namely, Blackwater and Colnbrook, the responsible highway authorities are proceeding, with assistance from the Road Fund, to provide bridges. Having regard to the very large number of level crossings in the 'United Kingdom the process of elimination must necessarily be a slow one, and I cannot say how soon the highway authorities concerned will be disposed to prepare schemes for providing bridges at Sunningdale and Andover.
  Mr. PETOWill the right hon. Gentleman give special attention to the few cases of level crossings on the main arterial roads?
  Colonel ASHLEY: We are doing so.

  THAMES BRIDGES.
  Sir EDWARD ILIFFEasked the Minister of Transport whether he will place upon the Table of the House for the information of Members the Report from the London Traffic Advisory Committee on the rebuilding of Waterloo Bridge and the proposed construction of a new approach at St. Paul's?
  Colonel ASHLEY: The answer is in the affirmative. The printing, however, particularly having regard to the fact that there are a number of diagrams illustrating the Report, must necessarily take some little time. In the meantime, however, a typed copy has been laid upon -the Table of the House without diagrams, and a limited number of copies are available to Members at the Vote Office.
  Sir E. ILIFFEasked the Minister of Transport whether he has received any application from the London County Council for advances to the reconstruction of Lambeth Bridge or Waterloo Bridge, or to the cost of improvement to the approaches to these bridges?
  Colonel ASHLEY: The London County Council have submitted an application for an advance towards the reconstruction of Lambeth Bridge, but no application has been received in respect either of the reconstruction of Waterloo Bridge or of the improvement to the approaches to these bridges.
  Sir E. ILIFFEasked the Minister of Transport whether it is still proposed to make out of the Road Fund a grant of£866,000 or thereabouts to the approaches to the proposed St. Paul's Bridge, including a new road in Southwark, and the widening of Aldersgate Street, as opportunity offers throughout its length; and whether that£866,000 has been satisfied out of the funds already standing to the credit of the Road Fund, or will be charged against the anticipated revenues of the years in which the money is 'actually expended and required.
  Colonel ASHLEY: The answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question
  196
  must depend on the decision which may be reached after consideration of the Report recently submitted to me by the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee on the subject of the bridges across the Thames. The answer to the second part is that any grant which may be made towards the road works referred to by my hon. Friend would have to be a charge against the future revenues of the Road Fund.

  POST OFFICE.

    BROADCASTING (FOOTBALL CUP-TIE).
    Colonel DAYasked the Postmaster-General, if he is aware that a narrative account of the cup-tie final at -Wembley was relayed by Post Office lines and reproduced through the loud speakers of a public address system in large halls at Bolton and Manchester, under the auspices of a London newspaper; and whether, as this is in effect the limited broadcasting of the narrative, and in view of the fact that permission to broadcast such narratives is consistently denied the British Broadcasting Company, under the agreement with newspaper interests sanctioned by him, he will state why such permission for limited broadcasting was afforded the newspaper interests concerned.
    The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer): I am aware that the use of the trunk lines was accorded for the purpose stated, in return for the appropriate payment, and the arrangement appears to me unobjectionable. The Post Office is not a party to the agreement between the British Broadcasting Company and the Press.
    Colonel DAY: Will the Noble Lord say whether those facilities can be granted to the British Broadcasting Company in the future, the same as they are to the Press?
    Viscount WOLMER: The position is that the British Broadcasting Company have an agreement with the Press, to which the Postmaster-General is not a party. It is not the Postmaster-General who has stopped the British Broadcasting Company from distributing news otherwise than by the present arrangements.

    WIRELESS PRESS MESSAGES TO JERUSALEM.
    Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Postmaster-General, if he is

    197
    aware of complaints of delays in wireless Press messages sent via Egypradio from London to Jerusalem, some of them taking 25 to 30 hours before delivery; what is the cause of these delays; and whether steps are being taken to improve the service.
    Viscount WOLMER: I am not aware of any recent complaints of excessive delay in the transmission of Press messages between London and Jerusalem. If the hon. and gallant Member will furnish me with particulars of the cases he has in mind, I will have them investigated, and inform him of the result.

    WIRELESS TELEPHONY (GREAT BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA).
    Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that Australia is perfectly ready and prepared to co-operate with Great Britain in experimenting in wireless telephony; and whether he will do all that is possible to see that such experiments be made in the near future.?
    Viscount WOLMER: I have seen a statement that there are wireless stations in Australia capable of telephonic communication with this country, and I have telegraphed to the Australian authorities asking for particulars, and stating that, if suitable stations are available, the British Post Office would welcome the opportunity of conducting experiments in wireless telephony between Great Britain and Australia.
    Sir H. BRITTAIN: May I put this question down in a week's time?

    PRESS TELEGRAMS (RATES).
    Mr. SMITHERSasked the Postmaster-General, in view of the discrepancy between£84,000 actually received and£500,000 receivable under ordinary rates for Press telegrams in 1925–6, whether he will consider the advisability of revising the rates for Press telegrams to a basis which will not involve a loss on this traffic?
    Viscount WOLMER: An increase in the charges for Press telegrams would require legislation, but the matter will not be lost sight of.
    Mr. HARMSWORTH: May I ask whether the matter will be immediately considered?

    CASH-ON-DELIVERY SYSTEM.
    Sir F. HALLasked the Postmaster-General whether he proposes to modify the Regulations with regard to the cash on-delivery parcel post so as to prevent the scheme being used by persons and firms who send articles which have not been ordered and, under the arrangements now in operation, in effect compel the recipients to pay for the goods delivered to them?
    Viscount WOLMER: The public can readily safeguard themselves against illegitimate trading, as no doubt most people do, by refusing to accept and pay for cash-on-delivery parcels which they have not ordered; but if the practice to which my hon. Friend allude, continues on any appreciable scale I will consider the advisability of amending the trade charge forms so as to include a statement that the goods in question have been ordered. I should, however, inforo my hon. Friend that not a dozen such eases have been brought to my notice, and our experience of foreign cash-on delivery has shown that this form of fraud is not worth anyone's while.

    PENNY POSTAGE.
    Viscount SANDONasked the Postmaster-General whether penny postage on letters and halfpenny postage on postcards up to a certain hour in the clay, by relieving night and evening pressure and by a better distribution of labour, could be introduced without any financial loss; and, if not, how much the loss would be on that basis?
    Viscount WOLMER: It has been found impossible to frame any such scheme on lines which would avoid heavy financial loss without causing serious anomalies and general deterioration of the postal service.

  ESTIMATES (METHOD OF PRESENTATION).
  Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Prime Minister if he will consider a revision of the method of presenting the Estimates to the House of Commons, so that in future each Department shall be financially responsible for the goods supplied or services rendered to it by His Majesty's Office of Works, His Majesty's Stationery Office, and by the Post Office?
  The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Churchill): I have been asked to reply. It has for some years been the practice to show expenditure on telegraphs and telephones under the Vote of the using Department. It is not proposed to extend this practice to postal services, buildings, and stationery. No such extension was recommended by the Estimates Committee in their recent Report, and, I think that centralised accounting for these services is more conducive to economy.

  NECESSITOUS AREAS (GRANTS).
  Mr. T. THOMSONasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the Report of Sir Harry Goschen's Committee, he will ask the Committee to sit again and consider whether, having regard to the evidence laid before them, they can devise a formula which will provide for an equitable scheme of grants in aid to local authorities in necessitous areas?
  Mr. F. C. THOMSON (Lord of the Treasury): I have been asked to answer this question. As the hon. Member has already been informed, the Government, after full consideration of the matter, are not prepared to agree in principle that any specific assistance should be given to local authorities towards the cost of Poor Law relief, and in the circumstances it is not proposed to ask Sir Harry Goschen's Committee to sit again.
  Mr. T. THOMSON: May I ask whether the Government are not prepared to do anything in any shape or form for these distressed areas?

  FINANCE BILL.

    BETTING DUTY.
    Colonel APPLINasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the number of turf commission agents in the London area and in England, respectively; and the estimated revenue to be derived from each category when the Betting Tax comes into force?
    Mr. CHURCHILL: My hon. and gallant Friend will find a rough estimate of the number of credit bookmakers in London in Appendix III A to the Report from
    200
    the Select Committee on Betting Duty which sat in 1923. There is no official information as to the number of bookmakers in England, but the question of the total number of bookmakers in the country is discussed in paragraph 24 of the Draft Report of the Chairman of the Select Committee. No attempt has been made to allocate geographically the estimated yield of the Betting Duty.
    Mr. THURTLE: Would the right hon. Gentleman say how many commission agents there are on the Stock Exchange?
    Mr. CHURCHILL: I really do not see how I could be expected to know that.
    Mr. AMMON: Will it be possible under the new arrangements for anybody to take out a licence as a turf commission agent?
    Mr. CHURCHILL: I think I should like to have notice of that question.
    Colonel DAY: Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether their licences will be suspended if they default?
    An HON. MEMBER: If they"welsh"will they be "scotched"?

  BEER DUTY.
  Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has taken any steps to ensure that the extra money to be paid this year by the brewers by the new method adopted for collecting the Beer Tax will not be actually paid by the consumer of beer, either by a raising of the price or the reduction of the quality of the beer sold?
  Mr. CHURCHILL: I have no reason to believe that the reduction in the period of credit allowed to brewers for payment of Beer Duty will result either in a raising of the price of beer or in a reduction of its quality.
  Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY: Has the right hon. Gentleman an assurance from the brewing trade on that point?
  Mr. CHURCHILL: I have answered the question as far as I am in a position to do so.

  TAXATION (EVASION).
  Captain GARRO-JONESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he

  201
  will consider the desirability of conducting an inquiry to ascertain the extent to which living millionaires are transferring large portions of their wealth to lightly taxed countries?
  Mr. CHURCHILL: The question of evasion of taxation by the method suggested by the hon. Member, as well as by other methods, is engaging my attention.

  MOTOR VEHICLES DUTIES.
  Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, for the purpose of assisting British-made motor cars to compete successfully in the Dominions and elsewhere, he will consider a revision of the present form of horse-power taxation?
  Mr. CHURCHILL: I would refer my hon. Friend to what I said on this subject in the Budget statement.
  Sir H. BRITTAIN: Is not this horsepower tax the greatest handicap to trade from the point of view of British manufacturers?
  Mr. CHURCHILL: I made some reference to that Budget statement

  PROHIBITED PLUMAGE (SEIZURES).
  Dr. SHIELSasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will give the list of birds the plumage of which has been illegally imported and confiscated under the Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Act, 1921, during the period from 1st January, 1926, to the end of March, together with the approximate
  Sir H. BRITTAIN: Will the right hon. Gentleman do all he possibly can to alter it?
  Mr. CHURCHILL: I have already referred to possibilities in a certain direction.

  NEW IMPORT DUTIES.
  Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade the average price at which watches and clocks, respectively, were imported during the first three months of 1924, 1925 and 1926, and also the average prices after adding the duty which was leviable in 1924 and 1926?
  Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: As the answer involves a table of figures, I will, with my hon. Fr end's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
  Following is the answer:
  The following statement shows the average declared values of the clocks and watches imported during the periods named and the duty leviable thereon at these values. No information is available as to the grades of clocks and watches imported I the different periods.
  quantity of plumage involved in each case?
  The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Ronald McNeill): As the answer is long, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
  Following is the reply:
  The following is a list of birds the plumage of which has been illegally im-

  203
  ported, and has been confiscated by the Customs authorities under the Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Act, 1921, during the period 1st January, 1926, to 31st March, 1926, together with the approximate quantity of plumage involved:
  Name of Bird and Approximate Quantity' of Plumage.

  Bird of Paradise.-1 skin, 3 millinery mounts.

  Blue Jay.—1 skin.

  Boatswain Bird. —12 loose feathers.

  Cassowary. —40 loose feathers.

  Egret. —4 millinery mounts, 32 loose feathers, 61 bundles of feathers, 2 wings.

  Emu. —1 millinery mount.

  Florican. —1 piece of skin.

  Goose (Pigmy). —1 skin.

  Grebe. —1 millinery mount.

  Heron. —10 millinery mounts.

  Indian Roller. —2 wings, 5 loose feathers.

  Jungle Cock. —12 loose feathers.

  Indian Mango Bird —2 skins.

  Jungle Fowl.—1 piece of skin.

  kingfisher. —47 brooches containing small portion of plumage.

  "Native Turkey."—20 loose feathers.

  Owl. — head, 1 tail, 2 wings.

  Peacock. —25 fans, 1 millinery mount, 2 loose feathers.

  Pheasant, Argus.—1 fan.

  Pheasant, Copper.—10 fans.

  Pheasant, Reeves.—11 fans.

  Pheasant, Silver.—2 wings.

  Stork (Leptoptilus).—I millinery mount, 28 loose feathers.

  Swan.—1 necklet.

  In addition to the above, 4 consignments of miscellaneous plumage, which included prohibited plumage were seized.

  GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS.

    MINISTRY OF LABOUR (DISCIPLINARY RULES).
    Captain GARRO-JONESasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been di awn to Staff Rules W. 4c of the Ministry of Labour, which states that betting and gambling on official premises are regarded as most serious offences; and whether this rule is in force in any other Government Department?
    Mr. MCNEILL: I understand that the disciplinary rules for the staff of the Ministry of Labour include a prohibition of betting and gambling on official premises. A similar prohibition, expressed or implied, is applicable in Government offices generally.
    Captain GARRO-JONES: May I ask whether the hon. Gentleman contemplates any modification of these rules, in view of recent fiscal developments?
    Mr. MCNEILL: No, Sir, no more than it is contemplated to allow hon. Members to smoke in this House, because they pay a tax on tobacco.

  NAVAL AND MILITARY PENSIONS.
  Sir WILFRID SUGDENasked the Minister of Pensions if he will consider a scheme which would save the widow of a Naval Service man the loss of pension in respect of his children, which she now suffers, on re-marriage to a soldier?
  The MINISTER of PENSIONS (Major Tryon): If a widow re-marries while in receipt of a pension for herself and allowances for her children, the effect on the pension and allowances is precisely the same whether the re-marriage be to a serving soldier or to a civilian.
  Sir W. SUGDEN: If I bring to the right hon. Gentleman's notice a case where this hardship does obtain—a case in which the widow of a soldier is penalised because her second husband is a naval man—will he go into the matter?
  Major TRYON: I shall be very happy to examine that case.

  INDIA (COMMISSION ON AGRICULTURE).
  Sir WILFRID SUGDENasked the Under-Secretary of State for India if he will recommend through the Secretary of State for India that the principal of the Punjab Veterinary College, Lahore, or other suitable officer, he appointed to the Commission which is investigating the maintaining of the health of agricultural animals and for combating contagious diseases, as otherwise no specialist is included on this Commission with special knowledge of the diseases of animals peculiar to India?
  Lord STANLEY(for Earl WINTER-TON): I presume that my hon. Friend refers to the Royal Commission on Agriculture. If so, the possibility of appointing a recognised veterinary authority as one of the members was carefully considered, but was not found practicable. The Commission an will, of course, take evidence from veterinary experts.
  Sir W. SUGDEN: May I ask my Noble Friend if he will be so good as to represent to the Secretary of State for India the vitally important consideration of the question of fitness in animals and cattle of all kinds, as well as the question of religion, which enters into this especially re cattle?

  CONTRIBUTORY PENSIONS ACT.
  Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Minister. of Health whether there are any means at his disposal whereby he can state the number of applications dealt with under the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Contributory Pensions Act in any given town?
  The MINISTER of HEALTH (Mr. Neville Chamberlain): The only way in which this. information could be obtained would be by a detailed examination of all the applications which have been received. It will be appreciated that very strong reasons would be required to justify the expense which such an examination would involve.

  MORTGAGE INTEREST (WIDOWS).
  Sir W. SUGDENasked the Minister of Health if, in the case of widows living upon the interest of mortgages completed pre-War at low rates of interest who are at present prohibited from calling such mortgages in, steps will be taken to enable them to receive the present value of money loans or call in such mortgages?
  Mr. CHAMBERLAIN: I presume that my hon. Friend is referring to the restrictions on mortgages imposed by the Rent Restriction Acts. The proposal would involve legislation, which I am not prepared at the moment to introduce.
  Sir W. SUGDEN: If I bring to my right hon. Friend a case where a widow woman was compelled to borrow money
  206
  at a higher rate in order to educate her children when the man to whom the money had been loaned lent it out again at a higher rate of interest, will he undertake to investigate the same?

  STEAMSHIP "AUSTRIAN."
  Mr. BASIL PETOasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is. aware that the steamer "Austrian," registered at Glasgow and flying the British flag, is at present lying at Bornholm, having been seized-there for debt, the crew being without provisions or money, and that the master is a Greek, the chief officer a Turk, and the remainder of the crew composed of nine Turks, six Greeks, three Russians, two Poles, and one Lett, with one British engineer, one British wireless operator, and one naturalised British able-bodied seaman; whether the local authorities at Bornholm have been appealed to by the crew for monetary assistance; if such has been granted, whether it will be refunded by the Board of Trade; and whether it is intended to adopt measures which will put an end to abuses of this kind calculated to bring discredit on the British flag?
  Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: My attention has been drawn to this case, and the facts are substantially as stated in the question. The manning of the ship is not contrary to law, the ship having been employed exclusively in trading abroad. The Board of Trade have no power to, spend public money on behalf of the crew of the ship while they are still on board, but I am informed that the mortgagees have authorised their agents to advance funds for the sustenance of the crew pending the sale of the ship.
  Mr. PETO: In view of the several cases which have recently occurred where discredit has been brought upon the British flag, will he consider the advisability of introducing legislation to bring about an alteration of the law with regard to vessels trading entirely abroad being allowed to fly the British flag?
  Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: As my hon. Friend knows, that question has very recently been considered, and the only result of legislation in that direction

  207
  would be to transfer ships to foreign flags. I am afraid it would not have any other effect.
  Mr. PETO: Would not the flying of the British flag bring us in anything at all?
  Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: Yes, because the vessel is registered here, and we tax it.

  GAS SUPPLIES (CHARGES).
  Viscount SANDONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the desirability of taking power to safeguard the consumer by inflicting penalties on gas companies where the meters are in fault and record excessive readings, and by inspection of such meters.
  Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: All meters by means of which gas is supplied must be stamped by an Inspector of Gas Meters. The performance of meters is believed to be generally satisfactory. It is usual when any defect is discovered for the account to be adjusted between the supplier and consumer on the basis of previous consumption.

  FOOD COUNCIL.
  Mr. CAMPBELLasked the President of the Board of Trade the subjects now under consideration by the Food Council; when this body has last reported to him; how often it has met since the beginning of the year; and whether it is now investigating the rise in the price of bread?
  Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER: The Food Council have in hand enquiries into flour, meat, milk and tea prices. Their last Report to me was made on 5th February; they have held three meetings, as a full Council, and their Executive Committee have held 15 meetings, since the beginning of the year. Certain investigations into provincial bread prices are being conducted.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD: Will the Prime Minister tell us what business he proposes to take to-morrow?
The PRIME MINISTER (Mr.Baldwin): Yes, Sir. To-day we propose to proceed with the Budget Resolutions, and, if the Budget Resolutions should be finished to-night, to-morrow we propose to debate the Regulations under the Emergency Powers Act.
Mr. MacDONALD: Arising out of the last part of the Prime Minister's reply, the basis of the Regulations has been published in a sort of pamphlet, but there are additions, I understand, and amendments that are to be issued from time to time; one has been handed to me to-day. What provision do the Government propose to make so that these amendments and additions should be put before the House of Commons without delay—certainly before they are brought into actual operation?
The PRIME MINISTER: All the Regulations that are contemplated will be put on the Paper, and can be debated to-morrow. No Regulation can be imposed without being debated and passed in this House, so the right hon. Gentleman need be under no misapprehension there. In other words, if any other Regulations are imposed besides those which will be on tile Paper to-night, they will have to be laid in a similar way, and will have to be passed by this House within a week.
Motion made, and Question proposed,
"That on Wednesdays, the 5th, 12th and 19th May, and on Fridays, the 7th, 14th and 21st May, Government business do have precedence."
The PRIME MINISTER: I think I advised the House yesterday that I should have to move this Motion, which, I regret to say, the Government consider necessary in view of the present crisis. It is obvious that, having had to give. up yesterday to a Debate on the crisis, and having to give to-morrow to the Debate on the Regulations—both necessary and proper in the circumstances—it would be impossible, without taking private Members' time, to get the financial business through as is prescribed, and the Government, although they hope that no further regulations or legislation may be necessary, feel that they must at this time take the precaution of being on the safe side, and ensure that, until Whitsuntide, these limited hours allotted to private Members

209
should be at the disposal of the Government in case of need. That is the reason why I have put down this Motion, which I commend to the consideration of the House.
Question put,
"That on Wednesdays, the 5th, 12th ai,r1 19th May, and on Fridays, the 7th, 14th and 21st May, Government business do have precedence."
The House divided: Ayes, 291; Noes, 107.

    ROAD FUND AND GENERAL.
    Transfer of Sums from Road Fund to Exchequer.
    17. "That the sum of seven million pounds shall be transferred to the Exchequer from the Road Fund."
    Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution."
    Mr. SNOWDEN: I desire to state the line that the Labour Party propose to pursue in regard to these Budget Resolutions and to the business of the House generally. In ordinary circumstances, we should have offered, by Debate and by vote, the most strenuous opposition to these Resolutions, but these are not ordinary circumstances, and our object is that as much time as possible should be at the disposal of the House of Commons to debate, discuss, and consider matters which may arise out of the present deplorable situation. Without in the least prejudicing our position and our attitude on these Budget Resolutions, we do not propose to-day to offer opposition to them in the form of Debate. This is in a sense a preliminary stage to the incorporation of these Resolutions in the Finance Bill. There will be, we hope, ample opportunities in the Committee stage of that Bill for a full discussion on these proposals, and I hope that may take place under happier circumstances. Therefore, the line we propose to pursue to-day is to confine our opposition to registering in the Division Lobby our votes against the various Resolutions.
    Mr. LLOYD GEORGE: I have had an opportunity of conferring with some of my colleagues on the decision which I understand is taken by the Labour party, and we are of opinion that it is a wise course to pursue under existing circumstances. We are opposed, and have already indicated our opposition, to some of the proposals put forward by the Chancellor, but the mind of the nation and the mind of Parliament is concentrated upon a very grave matter of urgent public importance. Under these circumstances, it would be very difficult to debate these proposals, however important they are, or to give them the necessary attention. I sincerely trust the Chancellor of the Exchequer will take this into account when, under more favourable conditions, I hope, we shall be discussing the matter later on in the form of the Bill in which he incorporates these Resolutions, and that he will, in so far as it lies with the Government, give full facilities for discussion

    233
    on the proposals and take into account the fact that we have abstained from discussion on the Resolutions.
    The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Churchill): I am very glad this view should have been taken by the leaders of the two Opposition parties. There would, I am quite certain, be a sense of great unreality if we attempted to debate these Resolutions when our minds were out of doors. I shall, of course, make it perfectly clear that the opposition is not in the slightest degree diminished, arid that everyone is perfectly free to take a critical part in subsequent debates, without the slightest protest being made at any time that the Resolutions were not previously dissented from. I thoroughly agree that the full discussions which take place on the different stages of the Finance Bill will
    enable every one of these matters to be raised and discussed. Consideration must also be given to the fact that this particular stage has definitely been surrendered by the Opposition.
    Question put, "That this House doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution."
    The House proceeded to a Division.
    Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE (seated and covered)
    On a point of Order. On which Resolution are we voting? We have not heard it.
