Order of Business.

The business of the day will be taken as on the Order Paper. We propose to take first the introductory speech on the Second Reading of the Housing (Financial and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, 1932....More Button

I am not quite sure if an understanding has been reached in that connection, but the position is that after the introductory speech on the Housing Bill the Committee Stage of the Finance Bill will be ...More Button

I find that the figure per seat that I mentioned for the biggest transport company outside the rail roads, and which was the subject of an inquiry some time ago, is £6 11s 11d. according to the charge...More Button

The Minister neglected to tell the House that this Bill, which gives this particular concession to what he calls the smaller bus companies of a seating tax of £3 6s. 8d., imposes a seating tax of £6 ...More Button

That is not the question. The question is that you cannot stand over it.More Button

We will show the Minister whether we have the moral courage or not.More Button

I will call the Minister's bluff now.More Button

Were they doctored?More Button

The ex-President has never doctored any report, and he does not read his speeches. We will raise the question on Tuesday about that particular remark.More Button

That is on the general question. It is machine parts we are dealing with.More Button

I move amendment 77:— Before Section 36 to insert a new section as follows:— Corporation profits tax shall not be chargeable on profit arising in an accounting period commencing after the 30th day of ...More Button

No.More Button

Will the Minister agree to put down 31st December, 1931? That settles the point.More Button

It is not defensible.More Button

I propose to divide on Section 41. If the House wishes, we can pass Section 42 and the Title and divide on Section 41.More Button

Yes.More Button

No, you caught me out on the last one.More Button

I was absent when you got through. If Section 42 and the Title are put you can then divide on Section 41 and finish it. SECTION 42. (1) This Act may be cited as the Finance Act, 1932. (2) Part I of...More Button

On Section 41, there are various repeals in the Schedule in connection with this. There is one outstanding case, No. 35 of 1926, where it is proposed to alter the whole complexion of the concession w...More Button

And there is, at least, one case on record in which that occurred.More Button

Where is it?More Button

Where is that?More Button

What is the reason for not taking the Bill on Tuesday?More Button

Can we not take portion of the Bill and the amendments which would be ready and dispose of that part of the Bill? It is quite possible that we will have time to spare on Tuesday.More Button
