Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Clause 13. — (Increase of Investment Allowances for Ships.) (30 May 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: My hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Barkston Ash (Sir L. Ropner) has given the facts and figures. As far as I can gather, there was only one thing which he did not say, but which might be said for the sake of the record. The total tonnage of dry, cargo vessels trading under the British flag is not as great now as it has been. Perhaps that should be noted, apart from the percentage...

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Clause 14. — (Amendment as to Capital Allowances in Respect of Machin- Ery and Plant.) (30 May 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I am not very happy, with that answer, and I should like to tell my right hon. and learned Friend why. As far as I could gather, he said that Clause 14 had been introduced because certain things had been discovered which nobody had really thought of and that the Clause more or less set that right. My hon. and gallant Friend the Member for King's Lynn (Commander Scott-Miller), shares, I think,...

Budget Proposals and Economic Situation (11 Apr 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I think that both the right hon. Member for Smethwick (Mr. Gordon Walker) and myself had the honour of first coming into the House at the same time in 1945. At the beginning of his speech today he said that he would treat the Budget as a whole, but I am sure he will agree wholeheartedly with me when I say that the one thing which hon. Members do not want is that every back bencher who rises...

Budget Proposals and Economic Situation (11 Apr 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: The right hon. Gentleman asks me to hazard a guess what proportion will be saved. He knows very well that a guess of that sort would be very difficult. If he asks me whether I shall be able to prove myself right by the end of the year through the fact that savings will have risen, I think I shall; I think that savings will rise, and I think that the Chancellor has introduced his Budget upon...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture Bill (25 Mar 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I wish that I had more time at my disposal to follow the remarks of the hon. Gentleman the Member for Pembroke (Mr. Donnelly). Those of us who listened to his speech did so with interest. Not only was it intensely interesting; it was also constructive. When we approach matters of farming finance we must remember that the expansion of credit in the last two and a half years has applied only...

Orders of the Day — BRITISH TRANSPORT COMMISSION BILL (By Order) (13 Mar 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I hope that the hon. Member for Hems-worth (Mr. Holmes) will forgive me if I do not follow him in a consideration of Clause 17. I want to address myself to Part II of the Bill, Clauses 7 and 8. I am not speaking in order to oppose the Bill, but I object to the principle which is contained in Clause 8, and Clause 8 flows from Clause 7. Hon. Members will have noted that Clause 7 deals with the...

Orders of the Day — BRITISH TRANSPORT COMMISSION BILL (By Order) (13 Mar 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: The right hon. Gentleman has quite rightly pointed to the fact that Clause 8, which I read, states in subsection (1) that It shall not be lawful for any vessel exceeding fifty-five feet in extreme breadth to pass through or under the new bridge. The point I was trying to make was that in the case of the new bridge which is to be built, any vessel of a greater size of beam would not, in fact,...

Orders of the Day — BRITISH TRANSPORT COMMISSION BILL (By Order) (13 Mar 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: Subsection (1) seeks to embody in the Bill the principle that it shall not be lawful for any vessel exceeding a certain measurement to navigate the river through the operational opening of the bridge. The moment that the Clause does that, it takes away the full discretion of a master in command of his vessel. I do not believe that to be wise, neither do I believe that it is wise to have in...

Orders of the Day — BRITISH TRANSPORT COMMISSION BILL (By Order) (13 Mar 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: That is true, but concerning both the dimension and the question of the beam discretion is being taken away from the master in command of a vessel. It is my belief that masters do not hazard their vessels and that a master is at all times the most competent person to judge whether he should go through a bridge. There is, therefore, no necessity or requirement to put this into legislation, as...

Orders of the Day — WHITE FISH AND HERRING INDUSTRIES (No. 2) BILL (12 Mar 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: As my hon. Friend the Member for Yarmouth (Mr. Fell) has said, when we come to the closing of a debate and nearly everything about the Bill has been said that can be said, we must tear up what we intended to say and simply try to make one or two points which we wish to stress in the House. Apart from welcoming the Bill and thanking the Minister for introducing it, may I, first, thank my hon....

Orders of the Day — WHITE FISH AND HERRING INDUSTRIES (No. 2) BILL (12 Mar 1957)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I am glad that the right hon. Gentleman agrees with that. Certainly, the fishermen agree and feel very deeply about it. The second point I make to the Minister relates to the date put in the Bill. I hope that he will give it consideration during the Committee stage. The date is put as 1961 and thereafter, by affirmative Resolution of the House, 1961 may become 1963. I do not like the date...

Egg Marketing Scheme (11 Dec 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I should like the hon. Member to clear up one point which is, I think, of some importance. Has he stated that the Liberal Party, as a whole, is against any producer board which is compulsory?

Egg Marketing Scheme (11 Dec 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: But has the hon. Member stated it?

Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance: Retail Prices (Shipping Freight Rates) (15 Nov 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: In view of the answer that has just been given, I wonder if the Minister could also answer this question. If a 5 per cent. rise in freight rates does in fact cause a rise of one-tenth of 1 per cent. on the retail price side, what will be the actual rise in invisible earnings?

Agriculture (Fatstock Payments) (30 Oct 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I have only one minute at my disposal before the Minister is to reply to the debate, but it is sufficient to enable me to say how much I welcome the scheme and congratulate the Minister on taking the initiative. I was glad to note by his remarks that the right hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) gives full credit to the Minister also, and that we shall not hear that the scheme is the...

White Fish Authority (Levy) (30 Oct 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I do not intend to delay the House for long, but I rise for a moment in order to say a few words in support of asking hon. Members to reject this Prayer. My hon. Friend the Member for Hull, North (Mr. W. R. A. Hudson) referred to the fact that those of us who remember the setting up of the White Fish Authority recall that the hon. and gallant Member for Hull, West (Captain Hewitson) at that...

White Fish Authority (Levy) (30 Oct 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I see. I presume the hon. and gallant Member is anaware of the contents of the letter. It may well be that there was no reason to reply to what they wrote. I think that at times all hon. Members are not fully aware of the many difficult things which confront the Authority. I had a case not very long ago where difficulties arose—extreme difficulties between two operations of the fishing...

Agriculture (Harvesting) (13 Sep 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I wish to thank my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Horncastle (Commander Maitland) for raising this subject tonight. I am looking forward to hearing what the Minister has to say in reply. I make no apology for turning my mind from Pharaoh to the harvest, as that is a very natural thing to do. The figures for the banks' farming facilities have, in fact, risen during the course of last...

Orders of the Day — FINANCE (No. 2) BILL: New Clause. — (Exemption from Enterments Duty of Games and Sports Other than Horse Racing and Dog Racing.) (25 Jun 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: I wish to support my hon. Friend the Member for Taunton (Mr. du Cann) in the points he made. My hon. Friend the Member for Essex, South-East (Mr. Braine), who moved the Clause, will, I feel sure, agree that he made the case for the cement and sand industries, but that so far not a word has been mentioned with regard to the china clay industry. As most hon. Members are aware, the china clay...

Orders of the Day — FINANCE (No. 2) BILL: New Clause. — (Relief from Income Tax for Development of New Metalliferous Mines within the United Kingdom. (19 Jun 1956)

Commander Sir Douglas Marshall: 1 beg to move, That the Clause be read a Second time.
