Orders of the Day — Agriculture. (20 Dec 1927)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I crave the indulgence which the House always gives to one who is making his maiden speech. I approach this subject from the point of view of the practical farmer, and as one who farms his own land, and I must say that, although I have listened for three hours to all these speeches, it appears to me that they have been skipping round the outside, and have left the centre untouched. The whole...

Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance.: Income Tax (Farming Losses). (28 Feb 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: 49. asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that, in cases where a claim is made under Section 34 of the Income Tax Act, 1918, for repayment on account of losses in respect of farming sustained by an individual who has substantial unearned taxed income and a limited and small earned income assessable under Schedule E, an entirely different source, from which the earned...

Orders of the Day — Electoral Reform. (28 Mar 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I found it a little difficult to follow the Noble Lord's views on proportional representation. He gave us his own ideas as to how he would like an election to be run, and he finished up by saying that the present system was the most perfect. I am a believer in proportional representation. I believe the single transferable vote is the most perfect method of voting that we have to-day on paper....

Orders of the Day — AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE (GRADING AND MARKING) BILL [Lords].: Clause 4. — (Cold and chemical storage of eggs.) (28 Jun 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I beg to second the Amendment. From the farmer's point of view, we do not want to encourage the preservation of eggs. The question of the age of the preserved egg arises. It may be six months old, a year old or two years old. The public are quite unaware when they buy an egg which has been cold-stored, what the egg is. In regard to British eggs, we are trying our very best at the present time...

Orders of the Day — AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE (GRADING AND MARKING) BILL [Lords].: Clause 4. — (Cold and chemical storage of eggs.) (28 Jun 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: The average British egg fetches just as good a price as the average Danish egg. The difference has been, up to the present, that the Danish egg has been better graded than the British egg. Now, the British farmer is awakening to the fact that if he is to get the best price, he must also grade his eggs. We are starting to do that, and this Bill will be a great help to us in enabling the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Education.: Sugar Duty. ( 9 Jul 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: 44. asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that refiners have refused to give to buyers the full reduction of duty according to polarisation on low-grade sugars in bond at the refinery at the date of the Budget proposals; and will he say if his agreement with the refiners contained any provision for differentiating between high-grade and low-grade sugars?

Orders of the Day — Agricultural Credits Bill.: Clause 10. — (Restriction on publication of agricultural charges.) (10 Jul 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I really cannot agree with the Mover of this Amendment. He is a Jeremiah. At the present time, if a farmer gives a bill of sale on any of his effects it is known to his creditors. In the second place, is it not the fact that 95 per cent. of the farmers of this country are honest men? Thirdly, is it not the case that the floating charges amongst farmers in this country would probably not...

Orders of the Day — Agricultural Credits Bill.: Clause 14. — (Provisions as to agricultural societies.) (10 Jul 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: Not in dealings in the ordinary way. The loans are lent by the Corporation and not by the banks. The banks are only acting as agents.

Orders of the Day — Unemployment Insurance Bill. (15 Nov 1928)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I want to refer in a few words to the remarks of the hon. Member for Gorbals (Mr. Buchanan), whose interpretation of the unemployment problem was one of despair, because evidently he does not believe that under any system we shall be able to get rid of it. He states that it is bound to increase, not only by increase of population, but by increase of machinery and of the skill and ingenuity of...

Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Commerce.: Cinematograph Films Act. ( 5 Mar 1929)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: 12. asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to investigate the methods employed in this country by American manufacturers of talking picture apparatus; and whether, if he finds the development of the British talking picture industry is being seriously retarded by the action of the American manufacturers, he will be prepared to consider further legislation to prevent...

Oral Answers to Questions — Cinematograph Films Act. (19 Mar 1929)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: 9. asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the attempt by American film interests to prevent American talking pictures from being projected in British cinemas on British apparatus, he will introduce legislation making it a condition of the exhibition of such films that the apparatus, or a certain proportion of the apparatus, used for the purpose shall be of British...

Oral Answers to Questions — Cinematograph Films Act. (19 Mar 1929)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that if all this talking apparatus were made in the Unified Kingdom, it would mean orders for British manufacturers to the extent of £3,000,000 to £4,000,000?

Adjournment (Easter). (27 Mar 1929)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: Was not that due to the preferential rates granted by our own railways to German imports?

Orders of the Day — Agricultural Rates Bill. (19 Apr 1929)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: If the hon. Member for Rochdale (Mr. Kelly) had studied the agricultural system of Denmark, he would probably know that the conditions are entirely different there, and that it would be absolutely impossible to adopt it in this country. I would, therefore, advise him to go a little more deeply into the subject, to read the history of Danish agriculture and to read a book on English...

Orders of the Day — Reconstituted Cream Bill.: Title. ( 9 May 1929)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I want to say a few words in reply to the hon. Member for Hillsborough (Mr. Alexander). He speaks on behalf of the sellers and not, I contend, on behalf of the consumers, and certainly not on behalf of the producers of real cream. The laws of this country prohibit the use of the name "butter" on any article that is not butter, or the use of any name approaching butter, and yet in this country...

Orders of the Day — Reconstituted Cream Bill.: Title. ( 9 May 1929)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I contend there is not one person in 50 who buys cream in a shop, whether it be in a store or in a restaurant, who would know the meaning of "reconstituted" cream. By the word "reconstituted" they would imagine it to be some super-cream, some cream direct from the cow that was even better than ordinary cream. It is a gross deception upon the public to use the word "reconstituted." By the use...

Orders of the Day — Supply.: Beet Sugar Subsidy, Great Britain. (23 Jan 1930)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: I should like to say a few words from the farmers' point of view. I have grown sugar beet myself, but on very poor soil; chalky soil. But the growing of this crop has paid me better than growing wheat on the same land. We have no sugar factory in my constituency. We have been trying to get one, and the farmers are agreed that if they could only get a factory erected in a convenient spot to...

Orders of the Day — Supply.: Beet Sugar Subsidy, Great Britain. (23 Jan 1930)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: Are they going in for it at Rothamsted?

Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance.: Beer and Tobacco Duties. (11 Mar 1930)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: 55. asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the rate of duty per standard barrel of beer on 1st January, 1914, 1st January, 1919, and 1st January, 1930, respectively; the total amount of duty collected during the last financial year; the rate of duty upon leaf and manufactured tobacco on 1st January, 1914, 1st January, 1919, and 1st January, 1930, respectively; and the total amount of duty...

Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance.: Beer and Tobacco Duties. (11 Mar 1930)

Lieut-Colonel Sir William Wayland: Is it not a fact that there has been no reduction whatever in the War Duties on either beer or tobacco, in spite of the fact that the stimulant called tea has been relieved of all duties?
