Orders of the Day — King's Speech.: Coal Mines (Nationalisation). (11 Feb 1920)

Mr John Robertson: ...class. Some of us have known compulsory labour from our very fenderest years. The average miner knows it from his first conscious existence when he can observe his parent. He has it almost from the cradle to the grave. If there is any fear of compulsory labour under any system I am afraid it is from a section of the individuals who are supporting the Prime Minister against nationalisation....

Orders of the Day — Supply [15TH Allotted Day].: Supply. ( 1 Jul 1920)

Mr James Seddon: ...railways, canals, roads, and electricity, and there was a general feeling—I think it was expressed in pantomime—that one person was going to be the director and controller of our being from the cradle to the grave. In any case, the scheme was emasculated by the dropping of the electric proposals. But the Minister has under his supervision the question of roads as well as of railways...

Orders of the Day — Unemployment Insurance Bill. (29 Mar 1922)

Mr Austin Hopkinson: ...or four more, and all these Measures are devoted to the fulfilment of a remarkable piece of policy originally designed by the Prime Minister. That policy is this: "Let us give the people from the cradle to the grave various forms of outdoor poor relief, and let us call that outdoor poor relief by another name, so that no man or woman or child may have any shame whatsoever in demanding it...

Orders of the Day — Supply.- [1ST Marcie]: National Minimum Wage. ( 7 Mar 1923)

Sir Martin Conway: ...!. But what does it involve? It involves that the State should have something to say to his coming into the world [HON. MEMBERS: Oh!"] If the State is to be responsible for all its citizens from the cradle to the grave, it must have something to say to their coining into the world, and that is rather a difficult proposition, but it is logically involved in all these assumptions. At the...

Orders of the Day — Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill.: Public Health. ( 1 Aug 1923)

Mr Francis Broad: ...of reading and understanding, and they want to know-how it is that in this country, which is the common heritage of all, some are condemned to a sordid struggle for the necessaries of life, from the cradle to the grave, and that their children will be thrown in the gutters like themselves. That sort of life is not good enough. There is no necessity for it. We proved during the War what was...

Orders of the Day — Export Trade. (21 May 1924)

Mr Henry Croft: ...figure of 800,000 men as normal for all time. We were only discussing earlier this week relief provisions which are moving in the direction of establishing a dole system practically from the cradle to the grave. The consequence is that it really does seem to me that this question of our export trade and our internal trade ought to be put on the basis of a more or less non-controversial...

Orders of the Day — Housing (Financial Provisions) [Money]. ( 3 Jun 1924)

Mr Herbert Morrison: ...unions it is not the fault of the workmen so much, it is not because of any anti-social instinct on the part of the workmen; it is a product of a social order which incites the workman from the cradle to the grave to look out for himself and let the general interests of society take second place. The conditions of building trade labour before the War were these: The workman had it...

Orders of the Day — Food and Fuel Prices. ( 6 Apr 1927)

Reverend Herbert Dunnico: ...all said and done, you have got to face it. Things cannot remain as they are. You cannot wonder if men become savage and bitter and say extreme things when their life is one grim struggle from the cradle to the grave. I do not want revolution. I want orderly progress, but the thing called democracy, harmless enough when lulled to sleep with political sleeping draughts, can become a...

Orders of the Day — LANDLORD AND TENANT (No. 2) BILL. ( 7 Apr 1927)

Sir Philip Pilditch: ...I can see, in connection with urban property, no landlord, no lessee, no under-lessee, no assignee, no occupying tenant, no one at all who has anything to do with urban property—will be, from the cradle to the grave, out of the hands of this tribunal, whatever tribunal may be set up. This goes to the root of the Bill. This is doing away with the ordinary method of supply and demand in...

Orders of the Day — LANDLORD AND TENANT (No. 2) BILL. (18 Nov 1927)

Sir John Power: ...to any extent will in the future be in the hands of his surveyor, solicitor and counsel, as my hon. Friend the Member for Spelthorne (Sir P. Pilditch) said on the Second Reading Debate, "from the cradle to the grave." The Bill will confer a great benefit on the professional men whom I have enumerated. There is no doubt whatever about that fact. What I am anxious to know is, will it confer...

Orders of the Day — Unemployment Insurance Bill. ( 9 Dec 1927)

Major George Davies: ...Act of Parliament, we should be going a very long way towards the time when the unfortunate citizen would feel the grip of the harsh hand of bureaucratic interference and control not only from the cradle to the grave but during the time before the necessity for the cradle has arisen. It is not impossible to picture what the future citizen will have to go through. He will have to get a...

Orders of the Day — Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Bill.: Clause 1. — (Assimilation, of parliamentary franchise of men and women.) (18 Apr 1928)

Mr Thomas Groves: ...hon. Member for the Isle of Thanet (Mr. Harmsworth), who ought to have known better than impose such mediæval theories on the House. Our young folk have learned from bitter experience that from the cradle to the grave they are enveigled in economic conditions imposed on them by the system of government of the country. Our young people have demonstrated their keen interest in social and...

Orders of the Day — Prayer Book Measure, 1928. (13 Jun 1928)

.... To suggest that the safeguarding of the principles of the Reformation depends on whether you use vestments or surplice, or bread or wafer—to say to the mother who has prayed for her boy from the cradle to the grave that she is not in that moment when he passes beyond the veil to follow him then with a prayer that he may rest in peace, and that light may shine on him, that. to do so is...

Orders of the Day — Ways and Means. (16 Apr 1930)

...years of Tory Government! Since then, the right hon. Member for Epping has put on another £30,000,000. They boast of it when there are votes to be had. The heading of this leaflet is, "From the Cradle to the Grave." This is how they sum up: From the time that be is born until his declining years, the worker is protected and helped on his way by the State under Acts of Parliament which...

Orders of the Day — Supply.: India Office. (27 Jun 1932)

Mr George Hicks: ...seems it is no longer possible to give such feelings healthy expression. The great agricultural populations, living as they are under actual conditions of privation in which, practically from their cradle to the grave, they are hungry, is the great area from which the industrial capitalists recruit the personnel for their industrial undertakings. Into the mills of Indian industrialism this...

Orders of the Day — Dog Racing (Local Option) Bill. ( 2 Dec 1932)

Lieut-Colonel Sir Walter Smiles: ...first of all. There was a long list of Motions from which to choose, and most of my constitutents are interested in them too. There was everything possible covering human activity from the cradle to the grave. Perhaps it would be more Parliamentary to say from Bills about birth control to Bills about the House of Lords. I have arranged with the hon. and gallant Member for Wallasey that if...

Orders of the Day — Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill.: New Clause. — (Amendment of Section 76 of Army Act.) ( 3 Apr 1933)

Mr David Logan: ..., then it can only be from lack of understanding. I am speaking in the House of Commons where we are supposed to have a moral tone. I want it to be understood that in my opinion the child, from the cradle to the grave, belongs to the father and the mother and not to the State, and because I honestly believe that I say that the State has no right to refuse this Clause. I appeal to the...

Orders of the Day — Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages (Scotland) (Amendment) Bill. (16 Feb 1934)

Mr John Train: ...does not look as if it contained very much matter, but it is none the less very important to nearly everybody who lives in Scotland or who is domiciled there, and it affects the population from the cradle to the grave. There is no record of any legal obligation until 1854 to register in Scotland a birth, a death or a marriage. Before that period there was the parish register, and the Kirk...

Retiring Pensions. (21 Feb 1934)

Lord Scone: ...many older members of the working-class are too often faced, one must consider whether it is altogether an advantage for the working people of this country to have everything done for them from the cradle to the grave. The whole tendency of recent years—and every Government has to bear some share of the blame—has been to spoon feed the people of this country. As far as we can see, the...

Adjournment (Christmas). (21 Dec 1934)

Mr William Craven-Ellis: ...week, which is the equivalent of the social services which they are receiving, I cannot agree, with these facts in front of us, that the capitalist system has failed. It is even carrying us from the cradle to the grave. We start with maternity benefit, we have free education, free meals and old age pensions. Therefore, a very unjust criticism has been made of the capitalist system. What is...
