HC Deb 17 June 1931 vol 253 cc1829-37
The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

The first Amendment which I call stands in the name of the hon. and learned Member for Central Nottingham (Mr. O'Connor)—In page 22, line 4, to leave out the word "area."

Earl WINTERTON

I beg to move, in page 22, line 4, to leave out the word "area."

I understand the Government are going to accept this Amendment.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

We are prepared to accept the Amendment on the understanding that on the Report stage we put in the words "including other details necessary for identification."

Amendment agreed to.

Sir T. 1NSKIP

I beg to move, in page 22, line 10, to leave out paragraphs (d) and (e).

These and the other paragraphs in the Sub-section empower the Commissioners to demand a number of particulars, some of which are reasonable, but the last two groups of particulars specified in paragraphs (d) and (e) appear to us to be wholly unreasonable and most oppressive. They go a great deal further than is necessary for the collection of the tax. They empower the Commissioners to obtain information as to: any other matters as to which particulars are required by the Commissioners for the discharge of their functions under this Part of this Act. We might just as well go back to the days of the Star Chamber and the extraction of teeth in order to obtain taxes. The Government might as well say that it is necessary to extract somebody's teeth in order to get the Land Tax. These paragraphs show the spirit

in which the Bill has been drafted. They show the instructions which the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave to the officials responsible for drafting the Bill. It is impossible in the time at our disposal to deal with the details of these two proposals. Nothing could indicate better than these two paragraphs the difficulties under which the Committee is labouring in respect of the Bill. I can only hope that the Solicitor-General who, apart from his official duty of defending the Bill, does retain, I know, a sense of decency in respect of these matters, will meet us by saying that he is prepared either to leave out paragraphs (d) and (e) or to amend them. Solely because time is not available to enable us to have any reasonable discussion about the matter, I move to leave out these two paragraphs and we throw ourselves, in the circumstances, on the tender mercies of the Solicitor-General.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

The position as regards paragraph (d) is that the Government are prepared not to go back beyond 1923, which was the date when these particulars ceased to be given to the valuation officers. As regards paragraph (e), we are prepared to limit it to the question of tithe and matters contained in the First Schedule. That is to say, the other matters on which particulars may be required will be tithe and the matters contained in the First Schedule.

Sir T. INSKIP

I suppose we have to take what we can get in the time at our disposal, but with a view to marking our sense of the insufficiency even of the concessions that have been made, we are bound to divide.

Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Clause."

The Committee divided: Ayes, 270; Noes, 180.
