Part of Orders of the Day — Housing (Additional Powers) Bill. – in the House of Commons at on 10 December 1919.
I think the hon. Members opposite have learned nothing from the Finance Act of 1909. That Act did a great deal with regard to the taxing of increment of land, and but for the passing of that Act we would not be sitting here this morning dealing with the question of houses. That Act is really at the bottom of the whole trouble.
Amendment negatived.
