Orders of the Day — Cut Flowers (Import Duties) (16 Apr 1959)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: Fivepence a dozen increase, the hon. Lady agrees, and, as that is the case, there is no quarrel between us. I was also glad that the hon. Lady mentioned that this Order applies to anemones, as they form a very important part of horticultural production in Cornwall. The Minister of State mentioned the effect on West Cornwall. Possibly he was thinking of the fact that Cornwall lies in the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Hospitals: New Hospitals (13 Apr 1959)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: Can my hon. Friend assure the House that the delay is in no way concerned with financial disagreements between the Ministry of Health and the local authority which is dealing with the hospital?

Budget Proposals and Economic Situation (13 Apr 1959)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I feel sure that the hon. Member for Bootle (Mr. Mahon) will forgive me if I do not follow him in his arguments. Although I should very much like to do so, I have only seven minutes left before the right hon. Member for Smethwick (Mr. Gordon Walker) is due to conclude the debate on behalf of the Opposition. That is not very long in which to say a few things about the Budget. Before I come to...

TORQUAY CORPORATION (WATER) BILL (By Order) (17 Mar 1959)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I support the Motion which has been moved so eloquently and clearly. On these occasions we do not always give reasons why we speak on behalf of a Motion, but I have noted that all Members who have spoken in this debate have given some reason for doing so, quite apart from the fact that they are either for or against it. From my own garden at home, I am able to see Dartmoor. When I was young...

Truro Cathedral (10 Mar 1959)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: Having had the privilege of serving in the House with my hon. Friend the Member for Worcestershire, South (Sir P. Agnew) when he represented a Cornish division for so very long, I am extremely glad to have heard him move this Motion. As a licensed lay reader of the diocese, I am only too happy to support the Motion.

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I did not quite follow from what he said whether the hon. Member for Falmouth and Camborne (Mr. Hayman) is supporting the Bill or is in fact against it, but I assume that on the whole he will come down in its support.

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I wanted to make certain of what the hon. Member would do under certain circumstances. The hon. Member mentioned broccoli. I am sorry that my hon. Friend the Member for St. Ives (Mr. G. R. Howard) is unfortunately unable to be present today. He telephoned me yesterday and said that he was suffering from influenza. As he is not here to answer the hon. Member for Falmouth and Camborne on that...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: The whole question of production of broccoli is purely a matter of protection. I sincerely trust that the President of the Board of Trade will listen to the hon. Member for Falmouth and Camborne, myself and other hon. Members and speed up, if he can, the review he is making at present as to whether an adjustment is needed in the protection measures for broccoli. My right hon. Friend the...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: In this case the hon. Member is right not only about Cornwall: there is extreme difficulty in defining a small farmer at all. Yet everybody knew the problem was there. The farmers themselves, through the National Farmers' Union, have not found a solution or put up a suggestion to any Government since the war. The right hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) knows that, as well as my...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I will tell the right hon. Gentleman why not. He has no more reason than I have at this stage to believe that the figures calculated by the Ministry and given by the Minister are inaccurate. The Minister, served in many cases by those good and trusty servants who served the right hon. Member for Don Valley, stated that the calculations made about increased efficiency and the increased number...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: The right hon. Gentleman said that when he made his speech and he is repeating it. The Minister did not agree with him. The reason I support the Minister's view rather than that of the right hon. Member for Don Valley is that, on the whole, the estimates made by the Minister's advisers in the House about the likely extra cost involved in the policy which my right hon. Friend is proposing are...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: We will talk about it when we get to it, but I prefer the statement made by the Minister to that made by the right hon. Member for Don Valley. The Bill provides for grants and I have heard it suggested that it might be better in certain circumstances if these were loans instead of grants. This is a matter of opinion, but I think the grant is very much better. When applying our minds to a...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I cannot give way again to the hon. Member. I have given way to him a great deal. Presumably, if this farmer took extra land he would then qualify under the scheme.

Orders of the Day — Agriculture (Small Farmers) Bill (10 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I have given way to the hon. Member several times, and if I do not give way to him again it is because several other hon. Members wish to take part in the debate. The right hon. Member for Don Valley doubts whether the Government will be able to deal with 25,000 schemes in the time given. Had the Government attempted to deal with more than this number, the scheme would have proved...

Oral Answers to Questions — Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: Ice-cream ( 3 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps were taken by the Food Standards Committee, before issuing its recent report about ice-cream standards, to examine comparable legislation in the United States of America and other English-speaking countries under which it is forbidden to sell a product under the description of ice-cream if it is not made with butter fat.

Oral Answers to Questions — Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: Ice-cream ( 3 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: Will my right hon. Friend make clear that he will consider all these matters which are being put before him, as he has not yet made up his mind on them?

Orders of the Day — Queen's Speech: Debate on the Address ( 3 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: If they are paying tax.

Orders of the Day — Queen's Speech: Debate on the Address ( 3 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: For a considerable time the Government have so reduced taxation that a great number of people who are now in a position to wish to purchase their own houses are paying no direct taxation.

Orders of the Day — Queen's Speech: Debate on the Address ( 3 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: In following the speech of the hon. Lady the Member for Lanarkshire, North (Miss Herbison), it seems to me that she more or less followed in the tracks of a good many of her colleagues on the opposite side of the House. It was a pattern which, so far as I can see, was rather remote from the facts which at present confront us. The reason I say that is this. I personally would give her and...

Orders of the Day — Queen's Speech: Debate on the Address ( 3 Nov 1958)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I am sorry that I did not mention the Cohen Report, because I differ fundamentally from the approach of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Huyton (Mr. H. Wilson), who opened this debate, when he said that there was no interest whatsoever in looking at the Report of the Three Wise Men, as the whole of the Report was built up in a nineteenth century fashion. The hon. Gentleman has...
