§ 10.43 p.m.
§ Mr. CHARLES BROWNI beg to move, in page 6, line 4, to leave out the word "Tenpence" and to insert instead thereof the words "one shilling and sixpence."
By some strange mental aberration the Financial Secretary at an earlier stage to-day implied that we were under the impression that this was something new. I can assure him that he was entirely wrong. No one on these benches thinks any Member of the National Government
§ is capable of bringing any new proposal before the House at all. As a matter of fact, this Schedule is a most antiquated set of proposals and what we are asking is that it shall be brought up to date. Tenpence a night for a soldier's lodging in the third decade of the twentieth century is an astonishing proposal for a National Government to bring before the House. Nothing decent can be obtained under 1s. 6d.
§ Question put, "That the word 'Ten-pence' stand part of the Schedule."
§ The Committee divided: Ayes, 264; Noes, 44.
