Lord Hutton's Report (4 Feb 2004)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...vital, but this should be coupled with responsibility. There is a danger of the press subverting our democracy by creating a climate of mistrust and malice towards those in public life, cynically hunting in packs for its next victim. There must surely be a middle way between deference and malicious point scoring, and between questioning scepticism and corroding cynicism. Lord Hutton...

Iraq (26 Feb 2003)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...he appears before the Security Council, in my judgment he should be given it. However, inspections will have limited relevance without proactive co-operation from the regime. This is not a treasure hunt. The test is whether the Saddam Hussein regime is co-operating with the weapons inspectors. Resolution 1441 was wholly unambiguous. It required a complete declaration. Clearly, there were...

Orders of the Day — Business of the House (13 Mar 1990)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...Government speaker in the Welsh Grand Committee, after it had been announced on the tapes that he had been succeeded by his hon. Friend the Member for the poll tax, the Member for Wirral, West (Mr. Hunt). Clearly, the Secretary of State for Wales is in an impossible position. No one knew whether he was speaking with the authority of the Government or not.

Orders of the Day — Control of Smoke Pollution Bill (14 Apr 1989)

Mr Donald Anderson: The House is always charitable and understanding when a Minister or any hon. Member says that a fault or error has occurred, as on this occasion. I do not wish to carry out a witch hunt, but it would be helpful to know whether this was merely a technical error by a draftsman or whether the fault lies with the Department, so that we may better understand the source of the error. Who committed...

Cable Systems and Services (30 Jun 1983)

Mr Donald Anderson: .... The problem is timing. Why is there such haste? If we do not take adequate measures now, the horse will run away with us. I welcome the changes that have been made since the publication of the Hunt committee report. The Government reacted well to the debate last December. For example, the absurdity of the electronic lock suggestion has been made clear. I want to make only three, I hope...

Orders of the Day — Queen's Speech: Foreign Affairs (30 Oct 1969)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...to find a theme in the Gracious Speech as a whole, it is clearly modernisation. On the home side, there is the roll of honour of reports which we are to implement over the next Session—Maud, Hunt, Seebohm and the others. The theme of modernisation is equally applicable in foreign affairs. There is the recognition by the Government that we can no longer play the traditional rôle...

Intermediate Areas (Hunt Report) (25 Jun 1969)

Mr Donald Anderson: It is good news that the Government have rejected the Hunt Committee recommendations for South-East Wales and have recognised the special problems of towns like Cwmbran and Abergavenny, but can my right hon. Friend given me one good reason why the Chepstow and Monmouth unemployment exchange areas, which have the same unemployment level and suffer from the same problems as other areas, have...

Business of the House (24 Apr 1969)

Mr Donald Anderson: Would my right hon. Friend consider having an early debate on the Report of the Hunt Committee on intermediate areas, published today, which will have serious consequences for the constituencies of many hon. Members.

Wales (15 Oct 1968)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...solving the employment problems of areas like Risca, in the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Bedwellty (Mr. Finch). I very much hope that the Government will not simply say, "Wait for Hunt", like Godot, because we have been waiting for Hunt for a long time. These anomalies are having a considerably bad effect on areas on the fringe. I refer in particular to Cwmbran, where two...

Orders of the Day — Welsh Development Area (Spencer Works) (28 Jun 1968)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...old Royal Naval Ordnance factory. I contend that the above considerations merit a Governmental re-look at the problem of the Spencer works, and that that re-look should be done urgently, whether within the context of the Hunt Committee on the problems of the intermediate areas or not. I say that it should be done urgently because the plan of the future shape of the British steel industry...

Welsh Affairs (30 Nov 1967)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...are generated there will help the jobs problem within the development area. This, I think, is a great criticism of the refusal of the Government so far to face the facts. We will be told about the Hunt Committee, but rumour is that it will not in fact report until June of next year. Therefore, we will not be able to take advantage of the industrial boost which we expect from the...
