Former MP for Spelthorne
May I ask the Prime Minister about subsidies to industry? As he knows, there are various articles in the Treaty of Rome which forbid member countries to subsidise industry in their own countries. Is the right hon. Gentleman prepared to obey those articles and withdraw all the subsidies which we give to British industry?
Having had the appalling experience of once seeing a human being suffering from rabies—and everyone realises what that means—may I ask the Minister whether he has considered the possibility of extending the quarantine period—say, from six to 12 months?
Order. I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Gentleman, but he is going far too wide of the debate on the Question, That the Clause stand part of the Bill. He must keep his remarks much narrower than they are at the moment.
Order. Again I am sorry to interrupt, but there is a later Amendment on this point. I must ask the hon. Gentleman to return to the Question before the Committee.
Order. I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Member, but there is an undercurrent of noise. I shall be grateful if hon. Members will allow the Chair and also our friends in the Press Gallery to hear what the hon. Member is saying.
Order. We are not discussing the road traffic Acts, with respect.
Order. I hope that the hon. Gentleman will get a little more to the age of peers rather than go too far out.
Order. I appreciate that there were passing references but not so extensive as the hon. Gentleman is inclined to make.
