PRIVATE MEMBER’S BILL
CONSCRIPTION OF WEALTH NO SECOND READING LONDON, May 16. In the House of Commons, Mr Chamberlain declined facilities for the second reading of Mr G. Hander’s Conscription of Wealth Bill. On May 9 Mr G. Mander introduced the Conscription of Wealth (Preparatory Provisions) Bill, providing machinery to enable conscription for six months of the wealth of surtax payers aged 60. It provides, also, that in wartime every surtax payer not engaged on active service shall place his resources above the surtax level at the State’s disposal. The Bill was formally read a first time. A private member cannot introdue a Tax Bill. If it is desired to put the machinery provided by Mr Mander’s Bill in motion, a further Government-backed Bill will be necessary.
