- Orders of the Day — Protection of Dogs Bill (4 Feb 1994)
Mr Alan Williams: ...it were not a Friday, I should request an emergency debate on the situation under Standing Order No. 20. It has been suggested by opponents of the Bill that it is a back-door route to banning fox hunting.

If this were just another political wrangle, it would not matter; however, a look at the Order Paper reveals that...
- Orders of the Day — Adjournment (Easter and May Day) (25 Mar 1986)
Mr Alan Williams: ...we started back, they were leaking letters left, right and centre. We had the entertaining back-stabbing camaraderie of the Cabinet room. We had resignations, protestations and denials. We had "hunt the letter" and all manner of amusing, entertaining festive games, here on the Floor of the House. In keeping with this atmosphere of buffoonery we had the behaviour of the Secretary of State...

Mr Alan Williams: ...through ministerial committee the proposition to establish the SDAs, many of which have been downgraded. In 1969, with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, I set up the Hunt committee to look into the problems of the grey areas which, in Lancashire and Yorkshire, were condemned to becoming grey yet again because of Tory Party decisions. It is, therefore,...
