Orders of the Day — Government of Ireland Bill. (31 Mar 1920)

Mr Edward Carson: Now what is the use of that kind of talk? You are not getting down to business when you say that. Therefore, I say that there is no use attempting this Conference. I never understand. One moment they say, "Have a Conference," which, if you could bring it about, would certainly take about a year or two, and the next moment they say, "Something must be done at once, if you are to relieve the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport.: Children's Railway Fares. (15 Apr 1920)

Mr John Swan: 72. asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the high passenger fares on our railways make it impossible for most children of the workers to have any facilities to travel on any distant train journey; and if he will endeavour to get children permitted to travel at half fare so long as their school age lasts, instead of limiting it to 12 years as at present, thus giving more...

Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill. (15 Apr 1920)

Mr Arthur Hayday: ...who is not below the rank of sergeant—in respect of a wife or children, two shillings and sixpence, and in respect of a bastard child, one shilling and sixpence. To suggest a figure of Is. 6d. for the maintenance of the unfortunate illegitimate child is, I think, nothing short of scandalous. I would appeal to the right hon. Member in charge to see if something cannot be done to revise...

Orders of the Day — Government of Scotland Bill. (16 Apr 1920)

Mr Joseph Johnstone: Yes, including the Solicitor-General. No Scottish candidate, unless he sits for a University constituency, could stand before his constituents and refuse to grant Home Rule to Scotland. The University Members-occupy a different position from the ordinary rank and file of Scotland. This Bill has been before the House on many occasions. The principle of the Bill was endorsed by the House as far...

Mr Robert Munro: Section 16 of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1918, is, as a whole, closely connected with the raising of the school age to 15 years, the " appointed day " for which has not yet been fixed. As a result, however, of representations received I have undertaken to consider whether it will be possible and advisable to bring into force Sub-section (2) of Section 16 at an earlier date than the...

Orders of the Day — Budget Proposals — Amendment of Law. (20 Apr 1920)

...say that there is a Committee dealing with that matter. But one might retort very fairly, Why was not that Committee appointed earlier, and why did the Government wait until the House practically forced them to undertake this in- quiry, with the result, now that we are considering the second Budget since fighting ceased, that we have delayed dealing with this question, and possibly delayed...

Oral Answers to Questions — Electrical Trade Union.: Elementary Schools (Medical Examination). (21 Apr 1920)

Dr Christopher Addison: My hon. Friend may be assured that the necessity of doing all that is practicable in this matter is fully recognised, but it is not, I think, necessary or practicable to ask authorities to arrange for the weekly attendance of school doctors at each school as suggested by my hon. Friend. I may remind him also that in 310 out of the 318 local education authorities in England and Wales there are...

Orders of the Day — Supply. [6TH Allotted Day.]: Civil Service and Revenue Departments Estimates, 1920-21, [Progress]. (22 Apr 1920)

...that of last year. The gross Estimate last year was £4,824,505. The gross Estimate this year is £4,528,873, showing a diminution of about £300,000. It is quite true that we are asking Parliament for a rather larger sum than last year. The reason is that the Appropriations-in-Aid are very much smaller. Owing to the closing down of various Departments connected with the Food Production...

Orders of the Day — Compensation for Subsidence Bill. (30 Apr 1920)

Sir Charles Edwards: I beg to second the Motion. The dealings of the Labour party with the Government have strange fortunes. Last year we proposed that the Bill should come under the Board of Trade, and a representative of the Home Office was in charge. This time we propose that it should come under the Home Office and a representative of the Board of Trade is in charge, so that whatever we do we happen to be...
