HC Deb 17 April 1930 vol 237 c3082
46. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether he proposes to afford facilities this Session for the Land Valuation Bill?

48. Captain MARGESSON

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to proceed with the Taxation of Land Valuation Bill before the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Bill?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

As I announced in the Budget speech, a Bill to provide for land valuation will be introduced forthwith in view of the importance of beginning the work of valuation at the earliest possible date.

Sir K. WOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman reply to my question as to whether he proposes to give facilities this Session? In other words, is this Measure to have precedence of the Trade Disputes Bill, the Raising of the School Age Bill, etc.?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The right hon. Gentleman had better wait and see.

Captain MARGESSON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that my question asks whether or not the Land Values Bill would have precedence of the others?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer question Number 48?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I gave that in reply to the right hon. Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood). I asked him to wait. I am not going to give an answer to a question like this. [Interruption.]

Mr. HARRIS

Is it not in the power of the Opposition to facilitate the passage of the Land Values Bill?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Then there is no answer?
