BRITAIN'S FINANCE BILL.
THROUGH COMMITTEE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. Received June 21, 9.5 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 tjje' labourites made the latter stages acrimonious by obstruction, raising innumerable points of order, and trying to place the Government in difficulties by first demanding divisions, and then not insisting upon them. Sir A. Butt's amendment, repealing the provisions of the Finance Act, 1910, which made transfers of land, notifiable, was carried by 195 votes to 106. Sir W. Joyson Hicks, though personally favouring the amendment, said the Government could not accept it, Dut Mr Stanley Baldwin entered and removed the Government Whip, leaving his supporters free to vote as they chose. The Conservatives cheered the result of the division.
