Mr Andrew Faulds: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Could you possibly get the hon. Member for Selly Oak to enlarge on his last observation? If he is insinuating that I am one of the chosen few in the 600, perhaps he would tell us about it, because I do not know.
Mr Andrew Faulds: I will make another about the hon. Gentleman—he has not the capacity for thought.
Mr Andrew Faulds: On a point of order. Is it in order for an hon. Member of this House to delay consideration of this necessary social Measure when that hon. Gentleman has not the capacity to put a bun in anybody's oven?
Mr Andrew Faulds: Since I am delighted to say I do not have the benefit of the close friendship of the hon. Gentleman to whom I referred, Mr. Deputy Speaker, perhaps, on consideration, it would be fairer now not to make that assertion because I am really not qualified to do so—[Interruption.]
Mr Andrew Faulds: I was trying to do so.
Mr Andrew Faulds: On your instructions, Mr. Deputy Speaker—[Interruption.] I will certainly withdraw that assertion. Sir—[Interruption.]
Mr Andrew Faulds: rose—
Mr Andrew Faulds: Can my right hon. Friend give us an assurance that, whatever the outcome of these contacts, there will be no independence in Southern Rhodesia before majority rule?
Mr Andrew Faulds: Conducted a pre-emptive strike.
Mr Andrew Faulds: Then act on them.
Mr Andrew Faulds: asked the Postmaster-General if he will introduce legislation to prevent intervention by illegal radio stations in local or national elections.
Mr Andrew Faulds: May I point out how unsatisfactory——
Mr Andrew Faulds: Does my right hon. Friend realise how unsatisfactory that Answer is, because an illegal political broadcast was made last Saturday on Radio 270 by the hon. Member for Haltemprice (Mr. Wall)?
Mr Andrew Faulds: In view of this, would my right hon. Friend take steps to have the result of the York municipal elections today declared invalid?
Mr Andrew Faulds: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I should like to make it quite clear to the House that I have given notice to the hon. Member for Haltemprice. I am hardly responsible for his nonappearance.
Mr Andrew Faulds: Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is a pretty poor comment on the Opposition benches that they should laugh when the idealism of British youth is mentioned?
Mr Andrew Faulds: asked the Attorney General whether he will instruct the Director of Public Prosecutions to make inquiries, with a view to prosecution for demanding with menaces, into the action of a director of an illegal radio station, whose name has been sent to him, in uttering threats against the hon. Member for Smethwick.
Mr Andrew Faulds: While I thank my right hon. and learned Friend for that reply, may I ask him whether he will confirm that such action will not prejudice any investigation that my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade may wish to instigate?
Mr Andrew Faulds: And so is the hon. Member's speech.
Mr Andrew Faulds: If my hon. Friend is opposed to the policy of the Government let him follow the logic of his views and vote with the Opposition—if he has the guts. Do not let him pretend that he cannot, and water down his action.
