Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs and Defence (27 Nov 1998)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...Republic, Hungary and Poland were members of that organisation only 10 years ago, which shows how perspectives change even in a decade—NATO is committed to an open-door policy. However, all the smoke signals from NATO Governments suggest that there is no consensus about the admission of new members at that summit. Surely that will send a wrong signal. It could halt the momentum and...

New Clause 1: Non-Abatement of Statutory Provisions (23 Feb 1994)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...to come here adequately briefed, but I hope that by the end of the debate he will be able to tell us clearly not only about the Government's current intention—that will probably disappear in smoke as soon as the Bill is passed—but that in no way can orders under the deregulation Bill be applied to the Bill before us in such a way as to allow the Government to take away later...

Anglo-Soviet Relations (14 Mar 1991)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...by Japan and Germany. We are also witnessing a period of rapid change within the Soviet Union and one is bound to ask how permanent it is. Is the present period of indecision merely a pause or smoking break, is it irreversible, and is there a real danger of a stepping back, as the darker forces of the KGB and the Russian army take over whatever reforming impulses President Gorbachev may...

Orders of the Day — Swansea (Submarine Base) (19 Jul 1989)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...the strongly held views of the people of Swansea in this respect, but I believe that there are strong objective factors for rejecting the Ministry's proposal, if it be a proposal. I shall try to smoke out the truth from the Minister with a series of questions and set out why the designation should not take place. In my judgment. there is a real danger of blighting Swansea at a time when...

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

Mr Donald Anderson: I should like to follow that point. Although there is a crisis in the national inspectorate, the amendments relate specifically to domestic smoke and domestic pollution. As the Under-Secretary of State has properly said, the people who, without any additional manpower or expenditure, will be reluctant in this context, are not the members of the hard-pressed national inspectorate but the...

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

Mr Donald Anderson: ...is just after 1 o'clock and the poor hon. Member for Basingstoke is still here. The Minister began by saying it was an error. She refused to say whose error it was, because—if she had been smoked out—if she had been frank and had said that it was an error, either of the parliamentary draftsmen or of the legal advisers in the Department of the Environment, she would have let...

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

Mr Donald Anderson: My hon. Friend has mentioned one of the most important sources of dark smoke. If I am fortunate enough to catch your eye, Mr. Deputy Speaker, on Third Reading, I should like to deal with the definition of dark smoke. Some major polluters have been omitted from the Bill, and my hon. Friend the Member for Ogmore (Mr. Powell) should consider whether there is anything sinister in that. Has there...

Clause 5: Charge of Income Tax for 1979–80 (9 Jul 1979)

Mr Donald Anderson: ..., in terms of the bucket-in-the-well system, by which one moves up and is compensated as the other moves down. But there is no such suggestion. There have been various whispers—Vatican-like smoke signals—that the Government, through the Think Tank or otherwise, are considering a reduction in these perks. I shall believe this when I see it. I can see no real attack on the perks...

Orders of the Day — European Community (Atmospheric Pollution) (18 May 1977)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...and particular directive relating to fuel oil? It is odd in principle that we are invited to take action on fuel oil when this might not, in particular cases, be the polluting element. Domestic smoke control may be a more effective means in some cases. The Central Electricity Generating Board is opposed to the fuel oil directive for several reasons, not least on the grounds of cost and...
