HC Deb 30 May 1940 vol 361 c675W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the new powers to conscript labour and wealth now possessed by His Majesty's Government, he will consider the advisability of postponing the consideration of the present Finance Bill and of introducing at an early date a supplementary Budget more in harmony with the present situation?

Sir K. Wood

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to my speech of yesterday on the Second Reading of the Finance Bill.
