Mr James Thomas: In seconding this Amendment, I recognise that the problem and the time are far too serious to attempt any debating points, either from this side or that. I would be tempted to criticise at some length the Prime Minister's speech on Tuesday, but I feel I shall be acting with the sense of the House if I recognise straight away that mere debating points are useless at a time of crisis, and I...
Lords Reasons for disagreeing to the Amendment made by this House to one of their Amendments to the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restrictions) Bill, and for insisting on certain of their Amendments to which this House has disagreed, to be considered upon Monday next, and to be printed. [Bill 45.]
Mr Joseph Johnstone: ...utility societies, far better results will be achieved and a far more businesslike proposition put before the country than by the building of houses by local authorities. I hope, therefore, the Amendment will not be carried.
Hon. Waldorf Astor: ...of providing water should not be invaded or taken under the provisions of this Bill to the detriment of the present owners. In our opinion the point which is raised is already covered by Section 45 of the Housing and Town Planning Act, 1909. It says that nothing in the Housing Acts shall authorise the compulsory acquisition of any land which is the property of any local authority or has...
Mr John Cairns: I beg to second the Amendment. I have a letter in my hand sent to me by one of my Constituents. He refers there to land which has been sold for £500 an acre. If sold in 1914, that land would have fetched £45 an acre. That is a difference of £455 an acre. Sitting here in this quiet, staid, conservative House, I have listened all the time with sympathy. I happen to be the only Labour man on...
Sir Eric Geddes: ...your warehouses, and it saves you very materially in the paying load of your train. Take as an example the paying load of your train. Eighty-one wagons of 10 tons capacity carry 810 tons; eighteen 45-ton wagons also carry 810 tons. The dead weight in the first instance of the non-paying load is 972 tons. but by pulling in a bigger capacity wagon you cut the non-paying load down to 648...

...to them Estimates of the cost of the scheme and of the rents expected to be derived from the houses provided under the scheme. I am very sanguine that the Secretary for Scotland will agree to this Amendment. A similar one has already been inserted in the English Bill. It will be within his recollection that I moved an Amendment on these lines in Committee. The question of rent to be paid...
Mr John Whitley: I shall have to submit to the House several Amendments of Standing Orders, some of which are on the Paper to-day and some of which I shall set down for next week. Those which I submit to-day are entirely consequential Amendments arising out of legislation. They fall into two groups. The first group, dealing with Scottish legislation, arises from the fact that the Standing Orders have not been...

Mr Albert Atkey: 45. asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware of the dissatisfac- tion throughout the country owing to the difficulties and delays incidental to the provision of houses under the Housing Act, and, in particular, that many authorities are unable to raise the necessary capital and do not approve of subsidising tenants of houses costing from £800 to £l,000 each, either from local or...
Sir Henry Craik: ...with the approval of His Majesty, and provided also that the said Governors must have been at the time of their appointments at least ten years in the service of the Crown in India. This is an Amendment which really is of very considerable moment. The whole structure of Provincial Government is very largely changed by the proposals of this Bill. The arrangement by which Lieutenant...

Mr Godfrey Locker-Lampson: ...pay a larger sum in respect of Income Tax than they would be liable to pay if they were each unmarried. I do not feel that it is really necessary to offer any apology to the House for putting this Amendment down and asking the House to support it. To my mind it contains a great matter of principle. I believe these debates on this question of the marriage tax have come to stay. I believe it...
