§ 45. Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister whether he is now able to state whether the Government can find time for the remaining stages of the Conscription of Wealth (Preparatory Provisions) Bill?
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)I am afraid that I cannot find time for the consideration of the hon. Member's Bill.
§ Mr. ManderDoes the Prime Minister really think it decent, at a time when flesh and blood are being conscripted, that similar measures should not be taken in respect of wealth?
§ The Prime MinisterI understood that the hon. Member had taken his Bill off the Order Paper.
§ Mr. ManderNo, Sir. May I put it in the form of a question, and ask the Prime Minister whether he is aware that there is no foundation whatever for the statement he has just made?
