Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Industry: Nuclear Power Stations (10 May 1971)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: Can my hon. Friend say which nuclear technology it is proposed to use for the second phase of the Heysham station?

Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Industry: Nuclear Power Stations (10 May 1971)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry for which sites the Central Electricity Generating Board holds planning permission for a nuclear power station where he has not authorised construction; for which sites in respect of which he has authorised construction, work has begun or tenders been invited; and for which sites for which he has authorised construction tenders have not yet...

Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Industry: Nuclear Power Stations (10 May 1971)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: While obviously we do not want to exceed the demand for power, does my hon. Friend agree that on both environmental grounds and for the maintenance of safety precautions it is preferable to make full use of a site which the Nuclear Safety Committee has approved and for which planning permission has been given before starting new construction on a further site elsewhere?

Economic and Industrial Policy (18 Feb 1971)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: In the course of my remarks I will touch on some of the points raised by the hon. Member for Islington, East (Mr. John D. Grant), but I will start by taking up the point made by the right hon. Member for Jarrow (Mr. Fernyhough) when he said that in his election address he had promised his constituents the standard of living they worked for. Our troubles today stem largely from the fact that...

Economic and Industrial Policy (18 Feb 1971)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: While I sympathise with the great problems of Dundee, the hon. Gentleman has quoted several figures. Will he say what was the figure in June, 1970, compared with the average of the period in office of the Labour Government?

Orders of the Day — Rural Bus Services (15 Feb 1971)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: The problem caused by the contraction of rural bus services varies greatly from area to area, and the problems in my constituency are different in nature from those which the hon. Member for Cardigan (Mr. Elystan Morgan) has just been outlining. But one thing certain about the problem is that it will become increasingly acute as time passes, and the operation of bus services in remote rural...

Orders of the Day — Rural Bus Services (15 Feb 1971)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: It depends to a great extent on how much one expects the small operator to operate. We must get away from the concept of the scheduled service as we have known it. It must be a service adapted to the needs of a much smaller community. We must not merely ask a small operator to take on responsibility for the type of provision for which it has been clearly shown that there is not a reasonable...

Orders of the Day — Public Expenditure and Taxation ( 5 Nov 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: This is the first occasion on which I have had the pleasure of following an hon. Member who has just made his maiden speech. I have, therefore, particular pleasure in welcoming the contribution just made by the hon. Member for Leicester, North-West (Mr. Greville Janner), and congratulating him most genuinely on his sincerity and natural eloquence. There has been a convention in the past that...

Orders of the Day — Public Expenditure and Taxation ( 5 Nov 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: This illustrates my point about the refusal of hon. Members opposite to take any action, however beneficial it might have been and however much it might have been sought by the people, that conflicted with their theories. I have no doubt that when some of the low wage earners in my constituency who are prevented by lack of manufacturing industry from enjoying the wage levels current in many...

Orders of the Day — Public Expenditure and Taxation ( 5 Nov 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: The hon. Lady has touched a note which I think is regrettably common, if over-emphasised, from hon. Members opposite. It is the implication that no one can sympathise with another human being and fellow citizen unless they have shared his experiences in every respect. I am not sure as to how far one is justified in personalising experiences. I have not shared the hon. Lady's experience, and I...

Orders of the Day — Public Expenditure and Taxation ( 5 Nov 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: Five hundred thousand children live in families which will benefit from that provision. That is a sufficient cause for satisfaction on my part. I have no doubt that my right hon. Friend will address himself in winding up to the specific point that has been made. I have referred to one subject which has been touched on by hon. Members opposite. I turn now to one which has not received the...

Orders of the Day — Public Expenditure and Taxation ( 5 Nov 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: Is it not correct that the White Paper says that the rate of grant under the Local Employment Acts in the development areas will be increased from 35 per cent. to 45 per cent., which is not something to which we shall build up? Does the hon. Gentleman contest the statement: It is also estimated that the differential benefit provided to the development areas by free depreciation … will be...

Oral Answers to Questions — Service Industries (Foreign Exchange Earnings) (29 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will undertake an examination of the price elasticity of demand for the services provided by the hotel, insurance and banking industries and other service industries which earn substantial quantities of foreign exchange.

Oral Answers to Questions — Service Industries (Foreign Exchange Earnings) (29 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: Will the right hon. Gentleman not recognise that there is a strong case for such an inquiry, which would throw light on the desirability of removing S.E.T. from these industries in order to increase their earnings of foreign currency?

Oral Answers to Questions — Distributive Trades (Investment) (29 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: asked the President of the Board of Trade what is his latest estimate of the trend of investment by the distributive trades in 1970.

Oral Answers to Questions — Distributive Trades (Investment) (29 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: Does not the trend of investment, taken alongside the reduction in numbers employed in the distributive trades, indicate that the main effect of S.E.T. has been to reduce the standard of service available to shoppers?

Oral Answers to Questions — Regional Employment Premium (27 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: Is it not reasonable that, when the new system has been operating for some time, there should be a published study of the discrimination against service industries compared with manufacturing industries, and whether experience has shown that this is sound?

Oral Answers to Questions — Industrial Plant (Design and Completion) (27 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: asked the Minister of Technology what is the usual interval between the completion of design stage and commissioning of major plants in the principal categories of process and manufacturing industry for which he is responsible.

Oral Answers to Questions — Industrial Plant (Design and Completion) (27 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: Would the hon. Gentleman not accept that it is much nearer two years than one year and does not this mean that our ability to expand output this year and next is already limited by the investment decisions of last year and the year before and that those decisions were taken in conditions of cash squeeze and flat demand?

Oral Answers to Questions — Plant Capacity (27 Apr 1970)

Mr Alfred Hall-Davis: asked the Minister of Technology which industries he has identified will find their output limited by plant capacity in the next six months.
