HC Deb 26 April 1934 vol 288 cc1999-2000

"That it is expedient to amend the Law relating to National Debt, Customs, and Inland Revenue (including Excise), and to make further provision in connection with Finance."

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution."

9.34 p.m.

Mr. DENMAN

I am sure the Chancellor of the Exchequer will forgive me if for a few moments I point out an Amendment that ought to be made in the law relating to Death Duties—

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Captain Bourne)

The hon. Member must do that on the Finance Bill by moving an Amendment.

Mr. DENMAN

May I not endeavour to discuss it?

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER

Not on this Resolution.

Mr. DENMAN

Does not this relate to the amendment of the law concerning Inland Revenue?

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER

The hon. Member is under a misapprehension. The only effect of this Resolution is to enable the Committee to amend the laws relating to National Debt and Customs and Inland Revenue.

Sir S. CRIPPS

May I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether this is the usual Clause? Is there anything particular contemplated under it?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN indicated dissent.

Bill ordered to be brought in upon the said Resolutions by the Chairman of Ways and Means, Mr. Chamberlain, and Mr. Hore-Belisha.
