§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in accordance with his undertaking given some time ago, he has considered the expediency and practicability of imposing an employers' tax of 1s. in the pound upon all wages paid; and whether in any case he will consider the suggestion in connection with the scheme of national insurance foreshadowed in his Budget statement?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEI am not conscious of having given the undertaking referred to by my hon. Friend, but I have no objection to considering the suggestion.
