I was glad to hear the...

British Airways Corporations (27 Oct 1953)

Scottish Affairs (15 Jul 1953)

Lord Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton: I was about to protest on a point of order, Mr. Hynd, that in two days of debate not one Member had been called representing a constituency in the Highland mainland, which is an area very nearly half the size of Scotland, with special problems of its own.
