§ 18. Dame Irene Wardasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is now prepared to receive proposals for helping the small fixed income groups and the family man of limited means who did not benefit in the last cut in the standard rate of Income Tax.
§ Mr. H. BrookeYes. If my hon. Friend will send me her proposals, I will gladly study them.
§ Dame Irene WardOn a point of order. Owing to the satisfactory nature of the reply, may I beg to give notice that I propose to raise the matter on the Adjournment? Would that be in order?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe hon. Lady is entitled to give notice of her intention to raise any point on the Adjournment, although I must say that it is unusual to preface such a notice with the word she has used.
§ Dame Irene WardIs it not a good thing sometimes to have a little change in procedure?
§ Mr. SpeakerI may say that I have no great objection to what the hon. Lady proposes. I like to see an occasional spark of unanimity in the House.
