  • Orders of the Day — Gift Parcels (Postmark) 21 Oct 1949

    Can the right hon. Lady say whether letters going to Soviet Russia were also stamped?
  • Orders of the Day — Gift Parcels (Postmark) 21 Oct 1949

    I think that the House generally must be satisfied with what the right hon. Lady has said. I personally have seen something of this gift contribution in my own village, and there is not the slightest doubt about the extreme gratitude of the recipients of these gifts. I think it should go out from this House that there is that tremendous gratitude. At the same time, however, it is perfectly...
  • Television (Scotland) 30 Jul 1949

    Did my hon. and gallant Friend say that the Lord Chamberlain controlled the taste in films?
  • Education, Cardiff 30 Jul 1949

    Can the hon. Gentleman say whether the Ministry of Education has threatened to drop the atom bomb of Section 68 on Cardiff? Is that not the vital thing to do?

  • Orders of the Day — Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) 26 Jul 1949

  • Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: New Clause. — (Duration of Dog Licences.) 6 Jul 1949

    I feel sure that the Committee will agree that this is a commonsensical Clause which might have been introduced many years ago. I would ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consult with his right hon. Friend and colleague, the Postmaster-General, to see whether it is not possible for dog licences to be issued at every post office. In remote rural areas one may have to go six...
