HC Deb 19 June 1950 vol 476 c961
The Solicitor-General

I beg to move, in page 29, line 11, after "England," to insert "Wales."

This Amendment is desirable, artistically and otherwise, although not strictly necessary because, as hon. Members know, there is an Act of Parliament which says that when we use the word "England" we mean Wales as well as England. However, it is right and proper that the word "Wales" should be given a co-equal place in the tax code with the word "England." That is why I move this Amendment.

Mr. Emrys Hughes (Ayrshire, South)

Will the Solicitor-General explain why there is no reference to Scotland?

The Solicitor-General

The same problem does not arise in Scotland, as this provision of the Crown Proceedings Act does not apply to Scotland.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
