New Clause. — (Ruler of State may exclude application of provisions as to water supply.) (11 Apr 1935)

Dr Christopher Addison: I suppose, from the introduction of this Clause, that it is put in to please someone, but one wants to know why they are going to be pleased, and I think the Committee is entitled to know that.

It...

Orders of the Day — CONSOLIDATED FUND (No. 2) BILL. (26 Mar 1935)

Dr Christopher Addison: That is not the ease. If the right hon. Gentleman really wants me to quote what he said on the 4th December, I will do so.

I will give him the list and he will find that a considerable number of ships to-day—there are scores of them, including one or two well known groups of ships—employ Chinamen, Malays, Arabs and so on. The point that I want to impress upon the President of the Board of Trade is that he...
