§ Mr. CHAPLINasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, and when, he proposes to move Amendments to the Finance Bill under which Regulations made under that Bill shall be laid upon the Table of both Houses of Parliament, in accordance with the undertaking given by him; and whether it will follow exactly the precedent of the Agricultural Rates Act, 1896, as quoted by him on that day?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEA new Clause has been placed on the Paper dealing with this subject. The Clause follows more recent precedents than that of the Agricultural Rates Act, and allows more time for the consideration of the Rules and Regulations by Parliament. The Clause does not, however, differ in principle from the provision in the Act of 1896.
