Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 25 July 1922.
I am sorry I cannot accept this Amendment, for reasons which I will give. Before I do so, may I give a history of this Clause as we now find it, in order to show the efforts made by the Government in another place and here to meet the points of view which have been expressed by the hon. Member for Hampstead (Mr. Balfour) and the statements which I made on the Second Reading and again in Committee.
