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. Gentlemen opposite go to Blackpool, Margate, Ramsgate or Southend, they will not be permitted to make a policy, for the policy will be imposed on them by the Leader of the Opposition. Therefore, if they want to see a really democratic, political...
Lieut-Commander Joseph Braithwaite: ...Association to ask how they fared, as far as demand is concerned, during the abnormally hot and pleasant Easter holiday from which the House has just returned. He told me that a manufacturer in Southend, a popular resort, and one or two manufacturers in London have already stated that, as far as they are concerned, the Easter sales of soft drinks this year have established an all-time...
Commander Harry Pursey: ...the Order Paper to a Motion calling for a Select Committee, or make speeches arguing for improvements which have already been granted. I will give examples of cases outside my own constituency. At Southend—and I informed the hon. Member for the constituency that I should be saying this—there is a gunner who was invalided out; he has been ill and unemployed, and was threatened with...
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?
Mr Arthur Henderson: ...two Air-Sea Rescue Squadrons, and on present plans these units will be based at Tayport, Blyth, Felixstowe and Mountbatten. I am very sorry that I am not able to arrange for one to be stationed at Southend where I am sure my hon. and gallant Friend would be the best recruiting agent that we could have, but we cannot have them everywhere, and I am sure that his loss will be the gain of hon....
Colonel Sir Alan Gomme-Duncan: Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that these two men, having failed to drown themselves at Southend owing to lack of water, finished up in a free public house where they were well treated, and that it was not a State public house?
Mr Thomas Williams: I am aware that the construction of a reservoir at Hanningfield is being considered by the South Essex and Southend Water Companies. If proposals are formally submitted by the water companies to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health, my Department will be consulted and the scheme will be carefully examined from the agricultural point of view. Meanwhile preliminary inquiries are being...
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. For instance, I know that the line out to Southend is extremely bad, but for various reasons I do not consider the conditions there are as bad as they are on the lines to which I have referred. However, there is a report that this line is...
Disabled Persons, Southend
Captain Arthur Marsden: .... They never quailed at their tasks. We had little East Coast convoys. So tense was the action, so short were we of men, that we actually had a shuttle service. Men had to be taken off a ship at Southend and transferred to another one to go as far as Southampton and back. Guns were so short that in the case of their small antiaircraft guns the men took them with them. They were...
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...
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 it, because during the holidays the children of London may go to Margate, Southend, and all round the coast, including Eastbourne. We cannot guarantee that every child will get eggs in the same period.
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...
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...
Sir Neill Cooper-Key: ...45,000 electors, and outside the county borough approximately 22,000. There are other Parliamentary boroughs with large rural areas outside—for instance Worcester, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Southend-on-Sea. There are many Parliamentary boroughs where the bulk of the electorate lie outside the municipal borough; but no other county borough except, possibly, Great Yarmouth, has lost its...
Mr Derek Walker-Smith: asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that a house at' 6, Broadclyst Gardens, Thorpe Bay, near Southend, Essex, the property of Mrs. Ivy Allison Bird of the White House, High Oak Road, Ware, was requisitioned by the Southend borough council on 25th July, 1947, and has remained unoccupied thereafter; and whether in these circumstances and in view of the fact that Mrs. Bird wishes to...
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...
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...
Mr Raymond Gunter: ...of this south-eastern tip of Essex, and today practically 7,500 acres have come into the possession of various Government Departments. Sweeping right round from Foulness Island into the Borough of Southend, there is an area enclosed and restricted from which the ancient rights and privileges of the people of that area have been withdrawn. All this has been done in the interests of the...
Mr Raymond Gunter: asked the Minister of Transport whether the new automatic fog safety device put into operation on 1st December on the Southend line has proved successful.
