HC Deb 23 May 1938 vol 336 c957

Lords Amendment: In page 6, line 24, at the end, insert: Provided that this Sub-section shall not come into operation with respect to any dwelling-house in England until the date on which a demand for the general rate in respect thereof is first made on or after the first day of October, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, not being a demand for a sum which had already been demanded before that date.

9.9 p.m.

Mr. Elliot

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

I do not think there is any difference of opinion in any part of the House in reference to this Amendment. It is merely to make sure that the Sub-section will operate from 1st October, 1938, and that will be for the convenience of all concerned.
