Mr William Hannan: Since entering this House in 1945 it has been my privilege on occasions, when sitting on the benches opposite, to make several short speeches.

Mr William Hannan: Is the Joint Undersecretary aware that in his report on the fire services in 1952 the Chief Inspector for Scotland said that little had been done in regard to these conversions?

Scottish Affairs (14 Jul 1953)

Mr William Hannan: We have listened with deep interest to the speech of the Secretary of State, particularly to that part dealing with new development in Scotland.

Gentleman spoke. We...
