Sir Archibald Sinclair: ...21st October, 1931, the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs said that it would be a disastrous thing if the Prime Minister were returned as Prime Minister surrounded by a cohort of Tories. Never in his worst nightmare did he imagine that the strength of the Conservative party would be as great as it is in this House to-night.
Captain Richard Evans: ...to co-operate, but this will not be made possible merely by implementing some ingenious device. We may yet have to get back to our old-fashioned notions. What we want is stability, confidence. If a cohort of angels brought down a perfect monetary system, without good will and confidence among the nations and a willingness to trade and live in neighbourly fashion, they would not bring the...
Mr Henry Raikes: .... At the present time great nations like Germany and Japan are outside the League. Do hon. Members opposite suggest that Great Britain, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia should advance in a solemn cohort against Italy—
Mr Frederick Montague: ...likely to arouse serious controversy between the political parties; well, the political parties are united, as parties, upon this issue. I do not know whether there are still 200 left of the cohort that was supposed to be opposing the Bill, but, in general, and the Division Lobby will show it, there is agreement for the principle of this Measure in this House as well as outside. Let me say...
Mr Ian Hannah: .... When Hadrian built the great wall across this land between the Solway and the Tyne military labour entirely was used, and inscriptions on the wall of Hadrian still give us information as to which cohort or other military unit built each particular section. Incidently, Hadrian was certainly a super-optimist, for he imagined that by building a wall it was possible to prevent my Scottish...
Mr R.A. Butler: ..., namely, Egypt or India. The right hon. Gentleman referred to India. No doubt, we shall have opportunities of discussing Indian policy. All I would say at present is that I hope the Army, or the cohort of Cabinet Ministers which is proceeding shortly to India, will do a great deal to relieve the tension in that country. I hope the sincerity of our intentions towards India will be...
Mr Charles Hale: ...our own views but trying our best to represent theirs. There is no reason why, in a Committee in which we are trying to put through Amendments which could readily be agreed, we should have a vast cohort of people sitting here in order to force a vote. It is a measure of the generosity and the decency with which we approach this matter that we have not attempted to force a vote. We have...
Mr Harold Lever: I hope that my hon. Friend's next intervention will be more to the point at issue. We have this cohort of Treasury experts and the like on the one hand, and our Chancellors on the other, who are too harassed and too busy with their political speeches and moralising and telling us how we should save, to understand the position. They tell us we should not go for a lump sum but should use it up...
Mr Eustace Willis: ...obtain the exact figures, but the picture certainly calls for some thought. The article points out that this emigration from Scotland is most seriously affecting what the writer calls the most vital cohort of the nation, namely, the age groups between 5 and 34 years of age. It says that although the population has increased by about 250,000 since 1931 the number of people in Scotland...
Mr Norman Cole: ...have been driving. A person driving a car and holding a full licence may have been driving for only six or seven months from the day he took his first lesson. Motorists passing him or driving in cohort with him will not know that he has not been driving for years. A sign should be devised, to be displayed by drivers who have recently passed the test, so as to give guidance to others on the...
Sir Hamilton Kerr: ...for Easington (Mr. Shinwell) told my right hon. Friend the Member for Guildford (Sir R. Nugent) that he must not intimidate Her Majesty's Opposition. My hon. Friend, like myself, belongs to the cohort of knights and baronets—oh those baronets! how they plague us. But the right hon. Member for Easington must not be intimidated by us. We are neither so horrible nor so powerful as people...
Mr Kenneth Robinson: .... One hon. Member quoted a figure, which certainly coincides with my information, that 26 per cent. of readmissions take place in the first year after discharge. This is a figure based on the 1955 cohort of admissions, but we have no reason to believe that it is substantially different today. This is 26 per cent. within a year. But the figure most frequently quoted for readmission rate...
Mr Norman Buchan: Mr. Deputy Speaker, is the expression "law abiding" only to apply to Africans? We are faced with breakers of the law who happen to be Smith and his cohort.
Mr Hugh Brown: ...family planning. The hon. Member for Edinburgh, North (Earl of Dalkeith) suggested that anybody on this side who dared to try to understand what the Government were trying to do was just a gullible cohort of the Prime Minister. We on this side have some hard thinking to do. I do not agree with my hon. Friend the Member for Tottenham (Mr. Atkinson) that there is no support for, not...
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams: ...one is asking for only about 3,000 people at the most. Since I do not envisage that it would be necessary for non-executive directors to hold only one such post, the Bill would probably require a cohort of only about 1,000 management auditors. I do not believe that the resources of commerce, industry and the City cannot find 1,000 people capable of carrying out this work. In so far as they...
Mr Tam Dalyell: ...the report that major matters concerning the Department of Trade and Industry were involved. It is not as though there were not quite a number of Ministers in the Department. There is a whole Roman cohort of them. Moreover, I, and I suspect others, warned the private office of the new Secretary of State for Trade and Industry that we should raise certain specific matters. It may be that...
Mr Timothy Raison: ...was a complicated exercise, the result was that the larger the class the better the reading ability. Furthermore, the National Child Development Survey was carried out as a study of a complete cohort of children born in one week in 1958. The results may be summarised as followed. Even taking account of small size, length of schooling, parental interest and occupation, children in larger...
Mr William Van Straubenzee: ...time to analyse them further. I hope also that the right hon. Gentleman will say something about the Open University. I was very close to—some I hope might say responsible for—the project of a cohort of 18-year olds going through the Open University process. It was widely thought that we had in mind then the idea of getting university education on the cheap. That was not so. The right...
Mr William Van Straubenzee: ...a level designed to secure approximately the same ratio of those who teach to those who are taught relative to the anticipated number of pupils. I wonder whether it would be right to seek an extra cohort of teachers. I am not thinking only of those who have just obtained their B Eds as they, like many other graduates, often go into jobs quite removed from the discipline that they have been...
Mr Michael Neubert: ...this is a resolute defence of the Secretary of State's empire. The right hon. Lady recently gave a television interview. I must be careful here, because not only is she supported this evening by her cohort of civil servants under the Gallery ; she is flanked by her two principal lieutenants. If the hon. Member for Colne Valley (Mr. Wainwright) is right, and we are attending a funeral,...
