Former MP for Stoke-on-Trent Hanley
62. asked the Minister of Transport whether in view of the impossibility of enforcing the use of a mechanically-operated reflector to deflect the beam, as laid down in the new lighting regulations, he will consider amending them?
The reflector referred to in the lighting regulations is a mechanical impossibility.
83. asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the ex-Maharajah of Nabha has been interned in Kodai Kanal for over seven years without any charges being brought against him; and will he give the ex-Maharajah the opportunity of proving his innocence before an independent tribunal?
Is the Under-Secretary of State for India aware that the whole cause of the trouble is an old, long standing dispute between two Indian Princes, and that the ex-Maharaja has made many requests to be brought to trial which have been ignored? In the best interests of British justice should not this man be given an opportunity of refuting any charges brought against him?
21. asked the Secretary of State for Air what progress has been made in the proposed trans-Atlantic air service; and whether he has secured suitable sea bases in Iceland and Greenland with a view to the use of the northern route?
29. asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that large quantities of chipped, crazed, and cracked earthenware are in general use in hotels and restaurants throughout the country; and whether, having regard to the danger of infection by the use of this ware, he will take the necessary steps to prohibit the use of such defective pottery?
Is my right hon. Friend aware that the Australian Government long ago prohibited the use of this defective ware, that the medical profession are unanimous as to its dangers, and also that washing is utterly useless when the glaze has gone; and, in order that my right hon. Friend may be more conversant with the matter, will he examine this cup which I have brought to him for his inspection?
1. asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has now received further information as to the German-equipped motor car factory proposed to be erected in Bombay?
