Former MP for Wimbledon

🗣️ Speeches and Debates

  • Orders of the Day — Supply.: Royal Parks and Pleasure Gardens. 25 Feb 1924

    I should like to ask if the right hon. Gentleman is now prepared to make any statement with regard to additional facilities in Richmond Park for golf, the present facilities having proved so successful, not only from the point of view of recreation, but also financially?
  • Finance Bill: New Clause. — (Repayment of duty improperly collected under 11 and 12 Geo. V., c. 47.) 12 Jul 1922

    I have listened very carefully to the Debate on this subject and I would like to ask the Solicitor-General if he cannot see his way to accept the Clause if it be amended by inserting the words to the effect that such repayment may be made "if the article has not been sold."
  • Railway and Canal Commission (Consents) Bill. 10 Jul 1922

    I would ask my hon. and gallant Friend for a little information concerning Wimbledon Common. At present the Department occupies part of the Common as a military camp, and I gather, from the operation of the Bill, that the period of occupation may be prolonged for, at any rate, six months more. There is resentment at the continued occupation of this part of Wimbledon Common by the War Office....
  • Oral Answers to Questions — Government Departments.: ST. Lucia (Legislature). 6 Mar 1922

    107. asked the Secretary of State for the Colonics whether he is now in a position to make a statement with regard to the petition from the inhabitants of St. Lucia praying for the creation of elected representatives to the local legislature?
  • Oral Answers to Questions — War Pensions. 8 Dec 1920

    52. asked the Prime Minister if he is aware that the Wimbledon War Pensions Committee say that the pensions fixed in September, 1919, were at the rate of approximately 10 per cent. below the then cost of living; whether the pensions were fixed for three years, although the Government were willing to revise them every year; whether, having regard to that willingness, the Government will now...
  • Orders of the Day — DEFENCE OF THE REALM (ACQUISITION OF LAND) BILL. [Lords]. 6 Dec 1920

    I merely rise in the hope of eliciting some information from the right hon. Gentleman in charge of the Bill with regard to the position of the common lands of the country under this Bill. It is within the recollection of the House that, during the War, a number of the common lands of the country, or parts of those lands, have been taken possession of by the War Office, and they are still in...
  • Orders of the Day — Corporation Profits Tax.: Clatse 44. — (Charge of Corporation Profits Tax.) 13 Jul 1920

    I beg to move, in Subsection (2, a), after the word "company," to insert the words "(except a company whose business is wholly carried on and directed abroad)." The object of the Amendment is to exclude from liability to this tax companies which, although incorporated in the United Kingdom but carry on their businesses wholly abroad and are directed abroad. I have no doubt it is in the...
  • Orders of the Day — Corporation Profits Tax.: Clatse 44. — (Charge of Corporation Profits Tax.) 13 Jul 1920

    I definitely excluded the management. I said wholly directed abroad.
