Mr Frank Rose: ...is not now finished, and all the machinery is there lying in packing cases, and not one machine has been set up. I was passing with an engineer friend, who is a Member of this House, through Guide Bridge last Friday, and I had not been in that district for several years before. I was surprised to see acres and acres of the place covered with buildings. I asked my friend, "What are they...

Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...was not at all conducive to the well-being of the community. When one thinks of that underground system and of the famous Buchanan Street Station —like a painting by a blind man of a derelict bridge—combined with the position at Earl's Court, one begins to wonder if the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company is really anxious to serve the public or to serve itself. There is...

Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...it. There is another point. There is another item of £960 paid for the demolition of the golf club house and store. On looking at page 4 of the accounts, I see that under the heading of "Roads, Bridges and General Drainage," in connection with the improvement of roads outside the exhibition, there is a figure of £19,863. Have these roads been left, or can we expect to get repayment for...

Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...this Bill ought to have been prefaced by a White Paper to give the House and the public some idea of what is involved in it. Will the passage of this Bill do anything to compel owners of private bridges to contribute more for the reconstruction of these bridges?
Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...but which we did not make a matter of contention on the Committee stage. What we felt all through was that private owners are not going to be called upon to pay any more for the construction of the bridges than they would have been had this Measure not been demanded. We discussed this in Committee but it is quite appropriate to bring it up now. The Bill safeguards private owners in so far...
Mr Andrew MacLaren: Will this Motion preclude the House having ample time to criticise all schemes and all proposals for monies to be spent upon schemes—such as the Charing Cross Bridge, for instance?
Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...a scheme brought into the House by the same Minister of Transport with the same flippancy and volubility, and it was carried to Committee upstairs. In that case we were told that the Charing Cross Bridge scheme had been analysed by the engineers, analysed by the officials of the Ministry of Transport, analysed by all the experts at the command of various Departments. I hope the House will...
Mr Wilfred Wellock: ...it that a change in the atmosphere of the whole world will come, and that policy will be vindicated. I think that position was splendidly illustrated by Dr. Nansen in a speech he made at Saint Andrews University to the young men of that city in 1926. Appealing to the heroism of the young men of our land he was trying to take the mind of our generation away from militarism, as the chief...
Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...about planning. What I said was that a town-planning scheme without a Clause safeguarding the public in taking back the betterment would be futile. The hon. Member has referred to the Charing Cross Bridge. That is a very good example, and he could not have given a better. That bridge was to cost the country £16,000,000, of which £11,150,000 was to go to the landowners.
Lieut-Colonel Andrew Gault: ...'s last chance, and, as my right hon. Friend the Member for Epping (Mr. Churchill) pointed out in his brilliant speech this afternoon, contains a real gap, which the Chancellor has been unable to bridge, between real revenue and expenditure, of somewhere between £30,000,000 and £40,000,000. The problem of balancing the Budget, therefore, is really being left to the next Government when...
Lieut-Colonel Wilfrid Ashley: ...it. May I leave the everyday activities of the Ministry, and come to matters of perhaps larger moment. I should like some information as to the position of the Government towards the Charing Cross Bridge. The Committee will recollect that three or four years ago a promise was made that if the Charing Cross Bridge materialised the Road Fund would contribute 75 per cent. of the net cost. It...

Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...is no trade or industry? The houses will follow all right if the industry is there. Then we were told that not merely must we have houses—built, remember, with State grants—but new roads, new bridges and other public amenities, built by the State, in order to induce—what? Trade and industry. Not that the trades and industries will operate for the profit of the State as a whole, it...

Mr Charles Peat: ...on the back for its price policy. The prices of the main engineering commodities, that is, ship-plates, angles, sections, and joists, and things that are used in heavy engineering, shipbuilding, bridge building, and house building, have increased by only 10 per cent. since 1933. Taking all steel products, there has been an increase of only 14½ per cent., even in the face of the increased...
