§ 56. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the recent legislation passed in Eire under which Mr. Bernard Shaw has transferred his property there to a voluntary civic improvement fund for the good of the community; and if he will introduce legislation in this country to enable patriotic and public-spirited landlords to make similar arrangements.
§ Mr. DaltonYes, Sir, and Mr. Bernard Shaw was good enough to write to me himself about this. I think that our existing legislation already allows such transfers, but I am having the question carefully examined.
