Former MP for Woodbridge
Perhaps I ought to begin with an apology for intruding in a Debate on a purely Scottish Measure, but I can at least claim the qualification of being a Scot and not an effete Sassenach. I want to mention a matter of detail. I have risen at the request of those interested to ask the Secretary of State if, at a later stage, he will consider according to non-statutory gas undertakers either in...
In the early part of December I put a Question to the Secretary of State for War asking if he would cause an inquiry to be held into the circumstances under which an officer, of whose name he had been informed, was relieved of his command of a battalion, or take steps to ensure that the charge of inefficiency against the said officer was expunged from his record. The right hon. Gentleman, in...
I have told the House of the report of the Commander-in-Chief on the officer in question and also the result of his appeal to the Army Council, which stated that he would be considered for employment in a command outside the 21st Army Group. Colonel Rose then appealed to the highest authority, under Section 42 of the Act, and that appeal also failed, I understand that my right hon. Friend was...

I beg to move, in page 23, line 30, after "servitude," to insert: (not being an easement or servitude held for the purpose of the carrying on of a statutory undertaking). This is really only a drafting Amendment. It may be necessary to extinguish the servitude and easements earned by statutory undertakings; but, as I understand it, Clause 21 lays down complete machinery for dealing with...
I said that provision is made in Clause 21 for extinguishing these easements, if necessary. If there is complete machinery in Clause 21, the rights of statutory undertakers should be retained under this Clause. They may want access to sub-surface working, although there is a development scheme in operation.
I ask leave to withdraw the Amendment.
I beg to move, in page 16, line 4, to leave out from "undertaking," to end of Subsection, and insert: other than land used for offices, showrooms or dwelling-houses; and(b) land which or an interest in or over which is held for eventual use for that purpose, other than land for which there is available for acquisition on reasonable terms by the person carrying on the statutory undertaking...
