Orders of the Day — Public Health (Tuberculosis) Bill (13 Apr 1921)

Mr Joseph Johnstone: ...idea was at first that the patient should be fed up, that he should have perfect rest and quiet, and the great test was to put on weight. I think that is a mistaken course. The rest and feeding and open air treatment, good as they are, are not enough. In my experience many people have gone into sanatoria and have come out flabby, unfit for their ordinary work, having acquired the...

Orders of the Day — Ways and Means.: Silk [Customs). (11 May 1925)

Mr John Remer: ...States uses more in a week than we use in a year. Who started that great industry in the. United States? People who emigrated from the borough of Macclesfield. You find them today in the town of Paterson among the most prosperous business men of that community. According to hon. Gentlemen opposite when these people lived among the hills of Cheshire, they were inefficient and incompetent,...

Death Penalty. (16 Nov 1938)

Mr Cyril Culverwell: ...convictions have spent a considerable portion of the last War in prison. It is an equally curious thing that when I was a member of the Select Committee and approached the matter with a completely open mind, prepared to be swayed either way by the burden of the evidence, there was what an hon. Member was pleased to term another "old lag" on the Committee. He was a member of the Society of...

Orders of the Day — Ways and Means. ( 8 Apr 1941)

Dr William Thomas: ...inflation might creep in. If then we do not finance the war by that objectionable method with all its dangers, what other methods are left to the Chancellor? My right hon. Friend has two methods open to him—one is borrowing, and the other taxation. These two methods attempt the same thing; they remove purchasing power from the private citizen: but they are completely different in their...

Orders of the Day — Bank of England Bill (29 Oct 1945)

Mr Robert Boothby: ...the State. There does not seem to me to be any ambiguity about that statement. I feel that, if I did not carry out my conviction in speech and in vote this evening, I might conceivably lay myself open to a charge of lack of conviction or of consistency, or perhaps even of mental stability. On this occasion I have to separate myself reluctantly from my Party; but I must say that if any...

Orders of the Day — Criminal Justice Bill: New Clause. — (Suspension of death penalty.) (14 Apr 1948)

Mr John Maude: ...much better to speak of in these rather melodramatic terms—are feared by criminals, terribly feared by criminals. The hon. Member for Nelson and Colne (Mr. S. Silverman) said, practically in his opening sentence, that he could not understand why the death penalty should be a greater deterrent than any other. The answer surely is that that bourne from which no traveller returns is very...

Orders of the Day — Criminal Justice Bill (16 Apr 1948)

Viscount Turnour: ...that I can recollect in my long experience in the House. The hon. and learned Member for Northampton (Mr. Paget) has been indicted—there is no other word for it—by the Home Secretary, in his opening speech, for making a statement which was absolutely baseless about someone who was a great personal friend of mine, whom I, like every one who worked with him, honour, and who is not here...

Orders of the Day — Transport (Amendment) Bill (23 Feb 1951)

Mr Alfred Barnes: ...of over three tons unladen weight exceeds the total fleet of the Road Haulage Executive, which numbers 39,932. Let me take this one step further. I turn to the fleet of vehicles in the field open for public hire and reward. That is the problem that we are dealing with here today—not a monopoly, but how far, when there is something like a capital asset of £1,000 million of public money...

Transport (Government Policy) (21 May 1952)

Colonel Ralph Glyn: ...has to be constructive; but how this White Paper is to be turned into something constructive and workable, I do not know. I rely upon the promise made by the right hon. Gentleman that his mind is open and that he wishes people to make contributions in this and subsequent debates to get a really workable scheme. I remember the days when I was on the railways, when one of the greatest...

Orders of the Day — Transport Bill ( 4 Feb 1953)

Mr George Lindgren: ...when as trade unionists we met them round the table, were very different. The greatest difficulty we experienced regarding wages and conditions was not with the larger companies, with Carter Paterson, Pickford's and Hay's Wharf, but with the small fellow, with one, two, three, up to 12 lorries. I had some sympathy with the larger employers who said quite openly, "You come to us and put...

Capital Punishment (Royal Commission's Report) (10 Feb 1955)

Mr Gwilym Lloyd George: ...suspending the death penalty for five years, and I tell the House frankly that, in doing so, I was very largely influenced by the statement made towards the close of the debate that Sir Alexander Paterson, who was one of the most enlightened Prison Commissioners, had changed his views on this issue towards the end of his life. It affected me, and it affected a good many other people, too....

Orders of the Day — Death Penalty (Abolition) Bill (12 Mar 1956)

Mr Harford Hyde: ..., then it is about time that we improved our prison system. We have improved our prison system out of all recognition not only since Sir Samuel Romilly's time but since the time of Sir Alexander Paterson, in 1931. It was much more severe in his time than it is today. Even the Home Office authorities, in their evidence before the Royal Commission, supported this view. I should like to read...

Orders of the Day — Aircraft Industry (22 May 1958)

Mr George Brown: ...longer before we got it. I cannot understand why the Government are so complacent about this, and I press the Minister very strongly on it. It may be that the R.A.F. feel that being in the Carter Paterson business is not so glamorous as being, in the fighter business. I can understand that. If that is what the airmen are thinking, the Minister might consider whether it would not be better...

Navy Estimates, 1961–62: Major Sir WILLIAM ANSTRUTHER-GRAY in the Chair ( 2 Mar 1961)

Commander Harry Pursey: ..., because they are largely defending themselves, and in practically all our commitments we are supported by other naval forces, Commonwealth forces, our allies or both. The Minister of Defence, in opening the defence debate on Monday, spoke of "our world-wide commitments" and referred to the map in the White Paper. For Tory Ministers and hon. Members to talk of world-wide commitments...

Orders of the Day — Ammendment of the Law (15 Apr 1964)

Major Sir Henry D'Avigdor-Goldsmid: ...is only to share in the feelings described by the noble Earl, Lord Longford, as the loneliness of the long distance talker. We have had a good debate today, and I war particularly impressed by the opening exchanges. I felt that the hon. Member for Cardiff, South-East (Mr. Callaghar), who is, of course, on his annual visit to the B.B.C. as the Quest star in "juke Box Jury ", did not really...

Transport and Technology (16 Nov 1965)

Mr Frank Cousins: ...has been little discussion of technology in the debate— which has been concentrated mainly on transport— although the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Rushcliffe (Sir M. Red-mayne), in his opening, indicated that there would be some reference to it. He also referred to co-ordination of trans- port. Have right hon. and hon. Members opposite forgotten that we were on the basis of...

Prisons, Borstals and Detention Centres (Estimates Committee's Reports) (14 Nov 1968)

Mr Hugh Fraser: ...some such system. If we look back only a short time, can it be said that the Prison Commissioners, an independent body, were vestigial and unimportant when there was a great man like Sir Alexander Paterson, whose name was a household word in his time, as the dominating figure among the Commissioners, and a man like Sir Lionel Fox as chairman of the board? I ask the House to consider...

New Clause 2: Life Imprisonment for Murder (25 May 1972)

Mr Neville Sandelson: .... Members, that there is good reason why a prisoner should not be incarcerated for more than 10 years unless his potential danger to society is likely to manifest itself again. It was Sir Alexander Paterson, one of the most eminent people in this sphere, who expressed that view and who was surely right to say that human personality tends to disintegrate after 10 years in an institution,...

CLYDE PORT AUTHORITY (HUNTERSTON ORE TERMINAL) ORDER CONFIRMATION BILL (By Order) (11 Dec 1973)

Mr Jim Sillars: ...are not compatible. That is the situation at Hunterston. Like my hon. Friends the Members for Greenock (Dr. Dickson Mabon) and Central Ayrshire, I feel it is as well to be honest and to state openly that environmental damage will be done. I believe that it must be done if we are to maintain economic momentum in Scotland. The first reason for my support of the Bill is that I see the ore...

Special Constabulary (19 Apr 1983)

Mr Warren Hawksley: ...back on the beat. Our policy to reverse the movement of putting policemen into panda cars which was started by the right hon. Member for Glasgow, Hillhead (Mr. Jenkins) was right. We should openly claim responsibility for and pride in that. That reversal could be speeded by the greater use of special constables. Since the Government came to office, there has been a great increase in the...
