Orders of the Day — Women's Emancipation Bill. ( 4 Apr 1919)

.... I think he was a German, but he had some Scotch blood in his veins. In his famous essay on woman, he describes her as inherently a creature of evil, and he asserts her to be wanting in all objectivity of mind. The root quality of evil in women he declares to be this: The race is always more to her than is the individual. What Schopenhauer would describe as the crowning iniquity of woman...

Estimates Committee. (22 Jun 1921)

Captain William Benn: ...the House has read the very valuable second report of that same Committee they will find the Committee set out a plan for remodelling the form of the public estimates on the basis of significance or objectivity, that is to say, instead of having accounts which show that a department has so many secretaries, and so many clerks, and so on, to have a system which would enable you to say this...

Orders of the Day — Supply.: Reduction in Naval Armaments. (14 Mar 1929)

Mr Richard Wallhead: ...given very long quotations and can speak with far more technical knowledge than I can on these matters, but I think it is fairly apparent that, when you get a group of experts sitting round a table, objectivity is lost sight of, and all that they discuss is what you shall have of this kind and what you shall lave of the other kind. I am not concerned whether I am wiped up by a six-inch gun...

Dumping of German Wheat. (30 Oct 1929)

Mr Morgan Price: ...one can expect the Government at a moment like this to unfold the whole of their policy on this matter. At the same time, I am very glad the question has been raised. I only wish the atmosphere of objectivity which we have heard in some speeches from the Opposition, both above and below the Gangway, had been continued in the speech of the Noble Lord—I regret to say I failed to notice...

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill. (25 Jul 1930)

...he does, I think that it is because a great many of us are too deeply concerned with and too near to some of the difficulties of this period of distress to keep our calm of judgment or our complete objectivity. He used one phrase—I want to be entirely just—about the standard of life of our people. He said "Heaven forbid that we should lower it." If we were going to rely upon Heaven to...

Civil Estimates, 1934.: Foreign Office. (13 Jul 1934)

Mr John Simon: ...opposite just now referred to as a pact of regional guarantees. I may say, incidentally, that I agree entirely with that part of his speech in which he laid down, I think with great good sense and objectivity, that if you can secure a really reciprocal pact of mutual guarantees between a suitable group of nations, you will, by that process, be contributing to a general building up of...

Orders of the Day — Incitement to Disaffection Bill.: Clause 2. — (Provisions for the prevention and detection of offences under this Act.) (31 Oct 1934)

...safeguards now incorporated. I presume that the incorporating of these safeguards has resulted from the attacks that have been made inside this House and outside by persons of detachment and objectivity. So we may say, perhaps, if my right hon. Friend the Attorney-General will forgive the ironical observation, that his determined attack upon Christianity has now fallen to the ground. At...

Supply of British News Abroad. (16 Feb 1938)

Viscount Turnour: ...have it otherwise, compete at home or abroad in that sort of propaganda. We shall never, let it be hoped, believe in propaganda in the bad sense. As many speakers have emphasised, we believe in objectivity, in untainted views and sincere views, honestly expressed. But while that is so neither the Government, the House nor the country can afford to ignore the use of publicity and propaganda...

Orders of the Day — Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill.: New Clause. — (Amendment of Army Act, s. 76.) ( 1 Apr 1938)

Mr Leslie Hore-Belisha: ...liable to punishment if they wrongly stated their age, and you would not be put to the inconvenience of making these inquiries? "Of all the speeches in this Debate, if we seek candour, frankness and objectivity, that is the speech that appealed to me most. To be quite honest with the Committee, I can see no reason why a man should not be allowed, frankly and openly, to enlist at the age of 17.

Oral Answers to Questions — British Army.: British News and Propaganda. (29 Nov 1938)

Mr Neville Chamberlain: His Majesty's Government attach great importance to the maintenance of the well-recognised tradition of objectivity and independence in the provision of news by British agencies; and they would deprecate any action that might be interpreted as an effort to introduce official control.

Censorship and Restriction of Liberty. ( 7 Dec 1938)

Mr Nevil Beechman: ...that the words of the Prime Minister in answer to that question should be quoted. They were: His Majesty's Government attach great importance to the maintenance of the well-recognised tradition of objectivity and independence in the provision of news by British agencies; and they would deprecate any action that might be interpreted as an effort to introduce official control.—[OFFICIAL...

Foreign Affairs. (31 Jan 1939)

Mr R.A. Butler: ...Vayo, at the League Council expressed the Spanish Government's thanks for the rapidity with which the Committee has always responded to its appeals, and also for the lofty spirit of impartiality and objectivity with which its reports have been drawn up. I hope that in these realms of humanity and in the realm of the exchange of prisoners hon. Members opposite will be able to find something...

Orders of the Day — Civil Estimates, Supplementary Estimate, 1939.: Foreign Office. ( 7 Feb 1940)

...in Chatham House? If they employ people for the purpose then those people, working in Whitehall in direct contact with the ordinary officials of Whitehall, could not be expected to observe the same objectivity. They would not have the libraries at their command which the other experts have at Balliol College and in the atmosphere of Chatham House. I am not going to say that everything...

Orders of the Day — Foreign Office. ( 7 Nov 1940)

Mr Kenneth Lindsay: ...to cancel each other out. I have heard men coming away from a lecture saying, "What then is the war about?" I have heard very alarming statements made because each lecturer has tried to preserve objectivity, and, with the best will in the world, his bias is bound to come in. One man is rather anti-American. It has been clear in every lecture. Another has had such a happy time in pre-war...

Civil Estimates, 1941.: Civil Defence. (12 Jun 1941)

Mr Ernest Brown: ...There is no complacency at headquarters. The House will have heard in the most admirable speech of my hon. and learned Friend the Member for North Croydon (Mr. Willink)—his speech was a model of objectivity—a description of the rest centres. I intended giving some slight description of the rest centres, but he has relieved me of that task. I agree with the hon. Member for Denbigh when...

Orders of the Day — Supply. (30 Jul 1941)

...no blood relationship with each other were forced to share the floor in one room. I believe that I could harrow this Committee, but I do not want to do so. I want to put forward my case with cool objectivity. Despite the diligent work of this excellent billeting officer, who has made a complete census of the area, and setting aside all the medical, social and moral standards which this...

Orders of the Day — India (Administrative Changes). ( 1 Aug 1941)

Mr George Ridley: ...hon. Members who have an intimate knowledge of India and the problems of India that a Member who, like myself, has been able to study those problems only imperfectly, on the basis of a long-distance objectivity, must feel at some disadvantage. I was moved by the concluding part of the speech of the hon. Member for Walsall (Sir G. Schuster), when he said that the present circumstances...

Oral Answers to Questions — War Transport: News Broadcasts (Sunday Newspaper Articles). (15 Oct 1941)

Mr Ernest Thurtle: I presume the article in question was included on account of its news value. My right hon. Friend has complete confidence in the objectivity of the B.B.C. officials who are doing this work.

News Dissemination (Reuters, Limited). (22 Oct 1941)

Sir Stanley Reed: ...directly concerned, and it would not be reasonable to ask them, at the present stage, to indicate how best there can be preserved in the national and Imperial interests the complete impartiality and objectivity of our main news service. But I ask this House to urge on the Government to see that this transaction shall not go through without a very careful investigation of all its...

Orders of the Day — Prolongation of Parliament Bill (30 Sep 1942)

Mr Randolph Churchill: ..., not between Tory and Labour, but between young and old. The young people of to-day distrust the doctrinaire shibboleths of the past and are prepared to face problems of war and of peace with an objectivity and a lack of prejudice which, I fear, is sadly lacking among many of the older generation, both in the Services and in civil life. Therefore, I assert that it would be a farce to hold...
