Adjournment (Whitsuntide) ( 2 Jun 1949)

Mr Herbert Morrison: ...We are. We are going to make the policy of our party, something that the Tory Party is not permitted to do. It does not matter whether hon.

Therefore, if they want to see a really democratic, political...

Sir Waldron Smithers: May I ask the Minister which authority disposes of his refuse? May I ask him, also, whether he will take a trip from the City of London to Southend-on-Sea to see acres and acres of land devastated by these refuse dumps? Will he do something about this matter?

Orders of the Day — Transport Facilities, North London (31 Jan 1949)

Mr Ernest Davies: ...are convinced, rightly or wrongly, that developments are now under consideration in other areas which, in their view, do not deserve prior consideration.

However, there is a report that this line is...

Orders of the Day — WAYS AND MEANS (18th November): Clause 4. — (His Majesty's Forces to which this Act applies.) (22 Nov 1948)

Guns were so short that in the case of their small antiaircraft guns the men took them with them. They were...

Orders of the Day — King's Speech: Debate on the Address (27 Oct 1948)

Mr William Gallacher: ...the Conservative candidate for the division, got up to make recruiting speeches and the irritated, angry football supporters shouted them down. A short time ago, the Minister of Defence himself, at Southend, was shouted down at a meeting of his own Labour Party representatives. I wish to appeal to Members of the Labour Party, and to warn them. It is my honest belief, from what I find in...

Oral Answers to Questions — Food Supplies: Egg Allocation (School Holidays) (30 Jun 1948)

Dr Edith Summerskill: ...given and the food offices generally help. I must remind the hon. Gentleman that this is not a ration.

We cannot guarantee that every child will get eggs in the same period.

Orders of the Day — FINANCE (No. 2) BILL ( 6 May 1948)

Mr Gilbert McAllister: ...has been a factor in the decision which the directors of E. K. Cole have taken. The problem is not confined to my constituency, since I understand that they also have given notice at their works at Southend that 400 men will cease to operate there in a fortnight's time. There has been a great deal of agitation by the radio industry about the Purchase Tax proposals, and I think it is...

Beer Supplies ( 6 May 1948)

Dr Edith Summerskill: ...develop in other areas. I would remind hon. Members that although workers are, of course, demanding more beer during their working year, when holidays come and they go to Blackpool, Margate, Southend and other places, which are very popular, they will expect to find a little extra beer there—because they have leisure in which to drink there. Therefore, they are keeping one-third of the...

First Schedule. — (Parliamentary Constituencies.) (26 Apr 1948)

Orders of the Day — MERTHYR TYDFIL CORPORATION BILL (By Order) (25 Feb 1948)

Mr Haydn Davies: ...as you said, Sir, we are dealing with an Instruction concerning Clause 19. Why is it that hon. Members opposite never worried about a Clause such as Clause 19 when it was applied to Birmingham, or Southend, or Swindon, or Felixstowe? Yet they suddenly find something sinister about such a Clause when applied to Merthyr Tydfil. They are the last people, really, who ought to mention the name...

Orders of the Day — Local Government Bill (19 Feb 1948)

Mr John Edwards: ...a film on disease, why should an authority be prevented from putting on an ordinary feature film?" Why should an amateur play be right, but a professional play wrong? Why should a pierrot show at Southend be right, but a variety show at Blackburn wrong? Obviously if it is contended that one thing is right and the other is wrong, it will not be because of objections either from the...
