Former MP for Bristol East
As a humble Member of this House, I have given the Government my hearty support right through this Bill, but I shall have to part company with them if, as seems probable, the President of the Board of Trade is favourably disposed to the insertion of this Amendment. If that be so, I shall be compelled, reluctantly, to vote against it. I am a director of one or two companies, but I would resign...
I very much appreciate this renewed evidence of the indulgence of this House. I do not know where I am out of order, because I want to see this Bill accomplish the purpose the Government have in view. I want them to apply it to the Government Departments. I hope they will see that the Government releases some of the vast stocks of timber, wool, and leather, on terms that cannot come within...
I sincerely apologise. 1 hope I may have an opportunity later of saying something upon the point.
I rise to support the Third Reading of this Bill as the representative of an industrial working class constituency. We shall all be very foolish if we expect this Bill is going to lower prices immediately. Nobody on any good grounds can expect prices to be reduced very much in six months' time, but I believe that if the provisions of this Bill are sincerely and faithfully carried into effect...
81. asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can state the date on which the first consignment of upper-leather purchased by the Government arrived in this country, the quantity of this leather that had arrived in this country on the 24th of May, and the quantity that had been actually distributed from Government warehouses on the 24th May?
