- Oral Answers to Questions — Civil Aviation: Independent Air Travel Ltd. (29 July 1959)

- Oral Answers to Questions — Civil Aviation: Independent Air Travel Ltd. (29 July 1959)
Mr Frank Beswick: Is the Minister aware that this is the first time I have put a Question to him about this matter and that one Question does not mean either a vendetta or, with respect, Mr. Speaker, a feud? May I ask if the right hon. Gentleman is aware what sort of figure he will cut, having said that he has taken away the licences from these companies, and they having consistently operated since May of...

- Oral Answers to Questions — Civil Aviation: Independent Air Travel Ltd. (29 July 1959)

- Consumer Protection (27 July 1959)
Mr Frank Beswick: I think that inadvertently the hon. Gentleman is casting a slur upon those who might have some connection with the Co-operative organisations. He has said that the members of the Committee should be unimpeded by external pressures. Does he mean to imply that anyone coming from a Co-operative organisation would be more likely to be affected by external pressures than the directors of other...
- Consumer Protection (27 July 1959)
Mr Frank Beswick: It is important that the Parliamentary Secretary should not appear quite so ignorant of the Cooperative movement. It is not the fact that the Co-operative movement consists only of the Co-operative Wholesale Society. No one has mentioned the Cooperative Wholesale Society. We have mentioned 13 million people banded together in these and other organisations in the country. There is not one...

Mr Frank Beswick: Then why have the Committee?

- Oral Answers to Questions — Civil Aviation: Aircraft Accident, Southall (22 July 1959)
Mr Frank Beswick: On a point of Order. Is there any precedent for this procedure, Mr. Speaker? Here are two Questions of mine, dealing with entirely different matters. While it is true that the Minister made reference to the subject of my Question No. 46 during the debate on Monday, he gave completely inadequate and evasive replies. [HON. MEMBERS: "Oh."] Should not we be entitled to have these Questions...
- Oral Answers to Questions — Civil Aviation: Aircraft Accident, Southall (22 July 1959)

- Oral Answers to Questions — Civil Aviation: Aircraft Accident, Southall (22 July 1959)
Mr Frank Beswick: I was not making irrelevant statements, Mr. Speaker, but putting a supplementary question following upon the reply given to my Question No. 46. This matter was mentioned in that debate and the Minister said that the regulations were a matter for the operating companies. What I want to ask the Minister now, if he will answer the question, is this: is not the fact that this was left entirely to...
