Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...fit badly. I am making these statements in the hope that inspectors will see that men who use these appliances do not suffer. Some of us who wear glasses know that when they fit badly across the bridge of the nose they are not very comfortable. In places where there may be particles or steam in the air, very serious inflammation may take place on the bridge of the nose. Where men are...
Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...make a great roadway from Hampstead through Trafalgar Square, streaming across the river and down to the Elephant and Castle. A Bill was brought before this House to deal with it, the Charing Cross Bridge Bill, which was dropped after inquiry into the propositions behind the Bill. What was the result of the inquiry? Before I give the figures, perhaps I had better make a comparison, which...
Mr Anthony Eden: ...-east of Barcelona, two aircraft were sighted steering towards the ship. The aircraft were seaplanes, two-seaters, painted grey. They were both of the same type and their rudders had a black St. Andrew's cross painted on them. The ship was at that time flying the new red ensign and red, white and blue stripes, each 2½ feet wide, were painted on the top and sides of the bridge. The...

Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...process. We cannot define the area of agricultural land; it cannot be done. It is becoming ever more difficult in view of modern developments, such as the vast expenditure of public money on new bridges, new roads, great public developments, passing right up and down the country. It is very difficult to know where agricultural land value begins and urban land value ends. My right hon....
Captain Euan Wallace: I understand that the congestion to which the hon. Member refers was entirely due to the abnormal traffic attracted to St. Andrews during the Open Golf Championship, and that apart from two additional crossings which were made for that reason on Thursday, 6th July, the ferry has been running to its normal schedule. With regard to the last part of the question, surveys have been made with the...
Mr Benjamin Smith: ...from the ground. That would help not only the cyclists, but road users as a whole. The right hon. Gentleman will remember the deputation that I took to him in September regarding the white St. Andrew's cross. I give the right hon. Gentleman full measure of praise for adopting the white St. Andrew's cross. The argument was that in a blackout a driver was apt to take the red light, a foot...
Captain William Benn: ...world opinion. The Moslems also must ask themselves that question. Understanding and good will are needed, and the belief in each other's sincerity. In passing, may I say that in the death of Mr. Andrews this week, India and this country have suffered a great loss? Let us take the suggestions that are made. In the Congress resolution and in Mr. Gandhi's speech there is reference to civil...

Mr Winston Churchill: ...throat while it is still hundreds of miles away from their homeland. The Admiralty tell us also that they are very glad to have these 50 destroyers, and that they will come in most conveniently to bridge the gap which, I have previously explained to the House, inevitably intervenes before our considerable war-time programme of new construction comes into service. I suppose the House...
Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...this phenomenon, but I must get over it somehow, so I suggest a tripartite contribution—the State, the worker, and the employer—and when we get a fund together, there will be a sort of rope bridge to carry the worker over depressed periods until trade is rising again." So he invented unemployment insurance. That was the beginning of what I call Fabianism and the strangulation of the...
Mr Winston Churchill: ..., clear the whole province at a run. Very little more, and we might have achieved everything. It was absolutely right to try, but it failed. The Germans effected their entry, and made good their bridge-heads. We had to fall back to gather strength and to gather our resources for heavy battle. I cannot pretend not to be disappointed that the full result was not achieved at the first bound,...
Mr Thomas Johnston: ...that all these considerations do not escape our attention at the Scottish Office, and that we weigh in wherever we can to assist in securing adequate transport facilities. About the Forth Road Bridge, I cannot, at this moment, offer an opinion. The next point, again, is a matter for the Ministry of War Transport, but I can assure my hon. Friend that my conception of the steamer service and...
Mr Andrew MacLaren: ...illustration from my own experience in this House. Long before 1939—and I am taking this occasion to remind the House of this matter so that it will get on to the official records—a new bridge was wanted over the Thames where the Hungerford Railway Bridge is now. The London County Council wanted that improvement. It had promoted Bill after Bill. It came forward to this House with a...
Mr Albert Alexander: ...of one of the United States Forces was particularly praiseworthy. Some of them had been unable to enter harbour after the postponement, and by "H" hour their Commanding Officers had been on their bridges continuously for about 70 hours. Admiral Ramsay said in his despatch that during the passage of the assault forces across the Channel there was an air of unreality, curiously similar to...

Mr Gilbert McAllister: ..., in Heaven's name, let us remember that Scotland has a great tradition in all these things. It is interesting that the Bill retains part of the planning powers of the Scottish burghs—of Saint Andrews by the Northern Sea, one of the most beautiful towns in Scotland, one of the most beautiful towns anywhere, and of Thurso. And let us repair to the city of Glasgow, the city with the...
Mr Charles Key: ..., to prepare a scheme for the offices to be erected on this site. Hon. Members will no doubt be familiar with Mr. Tait's work, and I do not think I need enlarge upon it. One of his buildings is St. Andrew's House in Edinburgh, which will be generally recognised as supremely successful. Then there is Adelaide House at London Bridge, and in addition there is the head office of Lloyds' Bank...
Sir Andrew Duncan: ..., too, when our steel-making firms were themselves searching world markets for engineering contracts that would bring a load to their mills. The classic example is Dorman Long and the great Sydney Bridge. Dorman Long had often supplied structural material for bridges but they had not previously built a bridge. They undertook that vast contract and carried it out with such complete success...
Mr William Morrison: ...scurry at the end of the time. The Council and the Government should have before them the proverbial words, "It is later than you think," or, if they prefer something more poetical, the lines of Andrew Marvell: But at my back I always hearTime's winged chariot hurrying near. There is one other matter to which I should like to refer in particular. The right hon. Gentleman referred to what...
