🗣️ Speeches and Debates

  • Orders of the Day — Agriculture 18 Mar 1942

    All of us will, I think, wish to congratulate the Minister of Agriculture on the statement he has given to the House, and also the farmers on the efforts they have made in carrying through the programme which has been set before them. At the same time there are many things which need to be tackled, and I wish to-day to press one particular point on the Government. I wish to ask what will be...
  • Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Commerce.: Waste Paper (Export to South America). 27 Jan 1942

    asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will arrange under the Clothes Rationing Order, that white operating coats for dentists shall be supplied without the use of coupons?
  • Oral Answers to Questions — Food Supplies.: Milk Contracts. 19 Nov 1941

    asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food under what conditions milk contracts can be broken and the supplies diverted to another purchaser; and whether these conditions were strictly adhered to when certain contracts were taken from a private creamery at Tattenhall, Cheshire, and given to a co-operative society by way of the Co-operative Wholesale Society?

  • Orders of the Day — Food Production. 3 Apr 1941

    I think that the right hon.

We have...
  • Orders of the Day — Contraceptives (Regulation) Bill. 16 Dec 1938

    I was waiting to hear whether the hon. Member disputed the figure which I gave, but I take it that he does not dispute it. In the letter to him I added a word which he has not given to the House. I said that I would make sure on the matter and would let him know.
  • Oral Answers to Questions — Housing.: Church Sites. 21 Jul 1938

    asked the Minister of Health the number of sites upon new housing areas sold by local authorities, during the last three years or other convenient date, for the erection thereon of places of worship?
