  • Man-Power. 8 Oct 1941

    I find myself very strongly in agreement with the hon. Member for Maryhill (Mr. Davidson) when he says that this question needs to be treated on broad lines and a general plan worked out. One of the factors we have to take into account in drawing up a plan like that is the comparison between our policy and its success and failure and what the enemy have done. I have no detailed information,...
  • Man-Power. 8 Oct 1941

    Does my.hon. Friend contend that the war can be won by bombing alone?
  • Orders of the Day — Civil Defence Bill. 5 Apr 1939

    I propose to keep the House for a few moments only because I want to deal with one point which I hope the right hon. Gentleman will clear up when he comes to reply. Clause 10 of the Bill refers to a code for occupiers of factories. It says: The Minister shall issue a code describing different types of shelters appropriate for different classes of cases Will that code include the provision for...
  • Army Supplementary Estimates, 1938.: Army (Royal Ordnance Factories) Supplementary Estimate, 1938. 14 Mar 1939

  • Orders of the Day — Supply.: Army Estimates, 1939. 8 Mar 1939

    I think the hon. and learned Gentleman is mistaken in this matter. The Territorial Army does not enlist people who are on the list of reserved occupations.
  • Orders of the Day — Supply.: Army Estimates, 1939. 8 Mar 1939

    They have been.
  • Oral Answers to Questions — British Army.: Territorial Recruits. 15 Nov 1938

    asked the Secretary of State for War how many men offered their services to the Territorial Army during the second half of September last?
  • Anglo-Italian Agreement. 2 Nov 1938

    The hon. Lady the Member for Jarrow (Miss Wilkinson) will forgive me if I do not follow her on the various points with which she has dealt, because I have risen only for the purpose of asking my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State one question, which I think will be found to go very close to the root of this matter. There are two views in this country on Spain, both of which are widely...
