Old Peer's Grim Joke Raises Debate On Property Bill
Lord Wemyss, at ninety, introduces a Land and Property Transfer Bill in the British House of Lords aimed at transferring all private and church property to a permanent commission for public good after fourteen years. The proposal sparks Conservative and Liberal Unionist alarm over socialist spoliation and echoes fears of state control over liquor licenses, while the Earl seeks a second reading to spark debate on property dangers under such legislation.
