Former MP for Leicester West
I beg to second the Amendment. It is necessary to protest against the language used regarding some of us, both outside and inside the House, although we are as keen upon promoting the interests of public morality as the supporters of this Bill. I can give all credit to the supporters of this Bill, from whom I differ, but I do ask them to give us equal credit. I protest against the language of...
With some of the latter remarks of my hon. Friend—I hope he will allow me to call him my old and honourable Friend—the Member for the Forest of Dean (Mr. Wignall), I am thoroughly in sympathy, and it seemed to me that they formed a very strong argument against such a Measure as this. My hon. Friend said that the fathers and mothers ought to talk to the boys and the girls in their homes....
I desire to say a word or two in support of what has been said, and on behalf of One of the, great towns interested in this measure. There is very little to be added after the exhaustive statements which have been made by my two hon. Friends.

Is it not the fact that the majority of the phosphates when it was run by this German company went to Germany.
(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for War and Air whether his attention has been called to the statement of Lieut.-Colonel A. E. Hirst, made at a meeting of the West Riding County Territorial Force Association at York on 26th April, that either the Government or the War Office did not want the Territorial Force to succeed; and whether he can give the House any assurance as to...
I cannot help thinking that my hon. and gallant Friends opposite are making a very old and historic mistake in assuming that a legislative body and an executive body are the same. Surely it is for the Executive for the time being to decide who are to be the representatives of this country on the Council of the Assembly of the League of Nations.
I speak as a warm supporter of the League of Nations, and I have just returned from Bristol, where I have been speaking in support of it. I know the objection which has just been raised by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Newcastle - under - Lyme (Colonel Wedgwood). It is often said by the extremists that this is a league of governments, and not a league of peoples. That might have...
