HC Deb 03 July 1928 vol 219 cc1347-8

Amendment made: In page 32, line 14, at the end insert:

43 & 44 Vict. c. 19. The Taxes Management Act, 1880. Sub sections (9) and (10) of Section seventy-three.
[Sir H. Buckingham.]

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this Schedule, as amended, be the Fifth Schedule of the Bill."

1.0 a.m.

Mr. A. V. ALEXANDER

There has been no word of explanation of the Amendment, and I should like to know something about it.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

The hon. Member is a little too late.

Mr. ALEXANDER

On a point Order. You have not yet put the Schedule.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

I put the Question, "That this Schedule, as amended, be the Fifth Schedule of the Bill." That is the Question before the Committee. The particular Amendment is already passed, and it is hardly open to the hon. Member to discuss it all over again on the Schedule.

Mr. ALEXANDER

I merely raise in order to give the Financial Secretary a chance of explaining.

Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

The Amendment is merely consequential on an Amendment already passed. It is purely drafting Amendment.

Bill reported; as amended, to be considered To-morrow, and to be printed [Bill 168.]
