HC Deb 16 June 1936 vol 313 cc805-6
50. Mr. POTTS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will authorise the introduction of legislation to tax titles, the proceeds therefrom to be credited to the national Exchequer?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir.

Mr. POTTS

Has the right hon. Gentleman any knowledge of any case of payment being made to a party in this House for a title? Has he any knowledge whatever? I have.

Mr. GALLACHER

Arising out of the very definite negative, will the right hon. Gentleman introduce legislation to abolish titles?
