Oral Answers to Questions — Soviet Embassy AttachÉS (Espionage) (17 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: He did not say that.

Oral Answers to Questions — Suez Canal (Shipping Restrictions) (17 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: Is it not the case that the Egyptian Government had obligations in this matter long before U.N.O. came into being? Are not they in breach of their solemn contract?

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: The nice ones get married.

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: Was that not what I said? I was maintaining the tone of the debate.

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: No. I shall come to what the hon. Baronet said. If the main reason is marriage, I do not think that either the Assistant Postmaster-General or the hon. Baronet is right. Women are allowed to remain in the service after marriage, though that was not so before the war. Very few women were allowed to remain in an established capacity in the Post Office before the war after marriage, but they...

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: I was not interested in Tunbridge Wells.

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: But my hon. Friend the Member for Tunbridge (Mr. G. Williams) was.

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: The hon. Member for Tunbridge was, but it seems to me ridiculous to talk just about that aspect. I should like the Assistant Postmaster-General to answer quickly. Is my figure of 14.9 per cent, correct?

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: I think that it is about 14.9 per cent. I have been making certain researches into the matter myself. I do not think that marriage is the main factor. I have been reading a number of advertisements from London papers. There was one in the "Evening Standard" for four nights, which said: Telephonists. G.P.O. trained. Required. Age 20 to 25, with pleasing personality and good voice. Good working...

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: The hon. Gentleman has fallen into the same error as the hon. Baronet and the Assistant Postmaster-General.

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: Does not the hon. Gentleman advertise himself as G.P.O. trained?

Telephone Service (14 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: I do not think so. I can see that I am treading on somebody's corns. There is something ethically wrong from my point of view in this type of advertisement when somebody else trains people well and then immediately they are asked to go to private industrial establishments. There is an obvious reason why people go. They are offered a five-day week with no Saturday or Sunday work. Often...

Mr Herbert Williams: asked the Minister of Education the difference between a grammar school and a modern secondary school.

Orders of the Day — Niall Macpherson Indemnity Bill (11 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: I am very grateful to the Attorney-General for the amount of time he has devoted to the letter that I wrote to him. I hope that my friend Mr. Macpherson will be back here very soon. I call him Mr. Macpherson on the assumption that the Attorney-General is right, but for the rest of my speech I shall refer to him as my hon. Friend the Member for Dumfries (Mr. N. Macpherson), because I think...

Orders of the Day — Niall Macpherson Indemnity Bill (11 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: The fact that that is her title in Australia has no authority on the Chairman here. Frequently in our proceedings, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, you ask us to vote sums to Her Majesty for this, that or the other Estimates. She can only spend it as we direct. I know that the way they conduct business in the Commonwealth Parliaments is similar, and I am sure that your opposite number in Australia will...

Orders of the Day — Niall Macpherson Indemnity Bill (11 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: I said earlier on—

Orders of the Day — Niall Macpherson Indemnity Bill (11 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: I think the proper answer to that is that Elizabeth I was. Her successor was King of the United Kingdom.

Orders of the Day — Niall Macpherson Indemnity Bill (11 May 1954)

Mr Herbert Williams: I think I said "United Kingdom." At that time it was Great Britain. But what is actually Her Majesty's title in Australia has no bearing on the matter. She is trustee on behalf of the people of Australia of the property of what we might call the people of Australia. Equally here she is the trustee of all the property of the people of the United Kingdom. There are two separate corporations....
