BRITAIN'S FINANCE BILL.
AN ACRIMONIOUS DEBATE. LABOUR'S OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS. (Received 0.30 a.m.) LONDON. June 20. The House of Commons concluded the committee stage of the Finance Bill in the small hours of the morning. A section of the Labour party made the later stages acrimonious by obstruction, raising innumerable points of order and trying to place the Government in difli'culties by first demanding divisions and i then not insisting on them. | Sir W. Joynson-Hicks, though person- ! provisions of the Finance Act 1910, which made transfers of land notifiable, was carried by 195 to 100. Sir W. Joynson-Hicks, though personally favouring the amendment, said the ■ Government could not accent it, but Mr. Baldwin entered and removed the Gov- ' ernmcnt Whip, leaving its supporters free to vote as they chose. Conservatives cheered the result ol the division.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
