Recent appearances

• Clause 51. — (Provision of facilities for recreation and social and physical training.) 27 Jul 1944

  Unless my right hon. Friend the President has a very strong abjection, I hope he will accept this Amendment. It merely gives the local education authority power—it does not impose on them a duty—to have some influence in the conduct and purposes of these community centres.

• Clause 52. — (Power to ensure cleanliness.) 27 Jul 1944

  I have an Amendment on line 3 to leave out "auxiliary" and insert "voluntary."

• Business of the House 25 Jul 1944

  Does the right hon. Gentleman propose to make any reference to the German reply to our representations on the shot officers?
