Orders of the Day — Emergency Laws (Miscellaneous Provisions)

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 27 November 1952.

Alert me about debates like this

Mr. Braithwaite:

I hope that when we have permanent legislation on a matter of this sort the House will watch carefully to see that the Bill is shaped in such a fashion as to do away with that necessity.

I hope I have indicated to the House the reasons why we desire the continuance of these identity cards. It is the desire of all sections of the industry, who agree that these cards are of value. I repeat that we hope the Defence Regulation will disappear very shortly and be embodied in permanent legislation.
