Orders of the Day — National Health Service ( 8 May 1963)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: It is always a pleasure to follow the hon. Lady the Member for Cannock (Miss Lee). As always, her speech was controversial, constructive and charming. She is always worth listening to, but I hope that she will forgive me if I do not comment on many of the things she said. Hon. Members opposite say that they will make this thing or that thing free. Would they give us an idea of what they...

Orders of the Day — National Health Service ( 8 May 1963)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: Let the hon. Gentleman tell my people that. Worthing has twice the national average of old people. I have had almost continuous correspondence with my right hon. Friend, and we can get nothing but the vaguest possible assurances. It must be realised that most of the relatives of patients in Southlands Hos- pital will not be able to visit them. There are no communications whatever. It is...

Orders of the Day — ROAD TRAFFIC BILL [Lords]: New Clause. — (Wearing of Protective Headgear.) (17 Jul 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: I rise only because I have little faith in Ministers' assurances that the powers they are seeking will not be used. During the time I have been in the House I have rarely seen that happen. I am aware of the necessity to protect people against themselves in certain circumstances—one must do that with lunatics—but this is one occasion on which I do not think it is suitable to act by...

Orders of the Day — ROAD TRAFFIC BILL [Lords]: New Clause. — (Wearing of Protective Headgear.) (17 Jul 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: I do not happen to ride a motor cycle and perhaps that is why I have not seen the literature. But I do drive motor cars and I know the effect posters have on people. I should have thought that a poster campaign would have been an admirable way of conducting this propaganda. I hope that, as he has said, my right hon. Friend will not consider introducing regulations until there has been a...

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: It will put them out of work.

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: I agree with what the hon. Member for Romford (Mr. Ledger) said about the export of television sets. There is also the problem caused by the different line systems which militates against our manufacturers and requires them to have two production lines. I hope that the hon. Gentleman will forgive me if I do not follow him further, because I know that many wish to speak and I hope to be brief...

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: I was not making a point about council houses. I merely say that the householder pays the rates, and that very often a large number of people who live in the houses and do not pay rates earn good wages and enjoy all the amenities of the town or borough, including education, without making any contribution.

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: Yes. This situation should not be allowed to continue. The other day, we heard of a council in Carmarthenshire which had got to the stage of saying, "We are not spending more. We must cut somehow on education to keep the rates down". Accordingly, the council sacked 65 teachers. Is that what the country or members on either side of the House of Commons wants? I cannot believe that it is. I...

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: These are only two examples of what soon, undoubtedly, will be a flood. One council dismisses 65 teachers and a city like Birmingham says that, because the limit has been reached, £1 million must be taken off the education bill. The Government will be faced with two alternatives. One that they must subsidise education to a greater extent than at present, but I would not be in favour of...

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: I did not say that they had neglected it. What I say is that still tougher measures are needed. The evil has not yet been eradicated. I remember what was done in the last Budget concerning double taxation benefit to allow able married women to continue at work by raising the exemption limit for Surtax, but it did not go far enough. This, also, is a subject which I have raised time and time...

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)

Brigadier Sir Otho Prior-Palmer: I took the example of the motor car as only one example. The hon. Member is putting up a great Aunt Sally, but if he will read my speech tomorrow he will see that I said that people ought to have to prove need before they were given a council house. Of course a council house should be available to a man earning £1,500 or £1,800 a year—provided that all the rest of the people have been...

Orders of the Day — Indirect Taxation: 31. Amendment of the Law ( 9 Apr 1962)
