Devolution (Scotland and Wales) (13 Jan 1976)

Mr Harold Wilson: The right hon. Lady said just now that I had objected to any court as being legalistic, fussy, bureaucratic and so on. She will recall that I expressed those views specifically in relation to the Liberal proposals for full-dress federalism, and that I was not referring to lesser forms of devolution.

Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) (17 Dec 1975)

Mr Caerwyn Roderick: ...), states that the effect of these Regulations will be to defer payments to hill farmers by about a month. There is a delay with regard to cattle and sheep. At this time of the year banks get a bit fussy. They are making up their books at the end of the year and if there is to be any delay, someone must persuade bank managers to hold off on the overdrafts Will the Minister advise farmers...

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment: Council House Tenants (15 Oct 1975)

Mr Ernest Armstrong: I am aware of the wide variety. We are anxious to get rid of any fussy and restrictive regulations affecting tenants. With regard to security of tenure for council tenants, we have given the commitment and we shall honour it, but we have been urgently busy on what we regard as the most critical issues, and concentrating on them. We shall certainly honour our commitment concerning security of...

Nationalised Industries (23 May 1975)

Mr Arthur Palmer: ...and an anchor to the economy, for which we should be glad. They deserve respect, and they deserve understanding. Those who manage these industries should be left to do their job without too much fussy interference. If interference or intervention is necessary because of the political responsibilities of Ministers to this House and to the country, the areas for legitimate intervention...

Orders of the Day — European Community (Membership) ( 9 Apr 1975)

Mr Norman Buchan: I am talking about other speakers. I will let my right hon. Friend know when I am referring to him and he can take the matter up. He need not get so fussy about it. I am offended by the cavalier manner in which people have treated the concept of party manifestos and pledges. Our February manifesto, after referring to the profound political mistake "of the previous Government in taking us in...

European Community (18 Mar 1975)

Mr Harold Wilson: ...of change, they have been an initiator of change. The second thing is this: many of us, including myself, have at various times been half terrified by reading the legal jargon, the apparently fussy legalism and theology, not to mention some speeches and statement of enthusiastic supporters, and not to mention interference in things, such as beer, milk, hops and un-eviscerated chickens....

Oral Answers to Questions — Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: Dressed Poultry (16 Dec 1974)

Mr Neil Marten: Is not this purely an example of fussy interference by mandarins in Brussels? Do we need to have this legislation at all? Have we ever asked for it?

Eec (Heads of Government Meeting) (16 Dec 1974)

Mr Harold Wilson: .... Gentleman will agree, is that I emphasised the need for reasonable freedom, especially in the present world situation, to follow national policies of regional help without it being questioned by fussy interference from the Commission or anybody else. I wish that he had made that plea for this country. I wish that he had laid claim to that when he negotiated the terms of entry in 1971....

Orders of the Day — Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (13 Nov 1974)

Hon. Nicholas Ridley: ...make sure that such allowances really fit the bill of those who need them in the future. Secondly, the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection really cannot be such a nanny, such a fussy busybody with her Price Code. What she is doing is totally incomprehensible and pointless economically. She would do better to scrap the code. It would save the time of many civil...

Orders of the Day — Sharp Report ( 1 May 1974)

Mr Neil Marten: ...a ramp at the rear. So the idea of choice by cash grant has many advantages in that way. The cash grant also has the advantage that it gets the Government and the civil servants out of the rather fussy involvment with day-to-day responsibility for all the problems of the vehicles. The cash grant has a fourth advantage, with which all hon. Members may not agree, in that it can much more...

Orders of the Day — Horticulture (Special Payments) Bill (16 Nov 1973)

Sir Ronald Bell: ...will be taken very seriously in Britain, because we are a country in which, on the whole, there is a fairly moderate law, and we take it seriously. People on the Continent are used to immensely fussy, impertinent, all-pervasive laws, and they treat them appropriately in a very cavalier manner. Evasion is the normal practice. It is the only way they can live with their bureaucracy, treating...

Independent Broadcasting Authority ( 3 May 1973)

Mr Phillip Whitehead: ...to see in a semi-detached house the beginning of a new system of local television. At the moment it is brutally restricted. They have to pay for this privilege and sometimes they are under the fussy control of a clerk in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. But it is happening, and to think that we can restrict the experiment, keeping the five stations and nothing else and that...

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment: Driving Licences (EEC Directive) (18 Apr 1973)

Mr Neil Marten: I am glad to hear my right hon. Friend's reply. Will he make it absolutely clear that this Parliament— this sovereign Parliament—will not tolerate this fussy interference in our way of life? The raising of the driving age from 17 to 18 years is not a negotiable matter, and that is that.

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment: Driving Licences (Age Limits) (28 Mar 1973)

Mr Neil Marten: ...anxiety, and that its effective date is 1st January 1974, if it is accepted? Will my right hon. Friend totally resist any such stupid idea for raising the driving age from 17 to 18, and resist this fussy interference in our lives by bureaucratic functionaries?

Schedule: Form of Ballot Paper (23 Nov 1972)

Mr Rafton Pounder: ...to consider is the position in Northern Ireland on polling day, when people will be asked to state whether they want to stay as they are or join the Republic of Ireland. This is not a matter of fussy nuances. The questions are first-class, and I hope that my right hon. Friend will resist any change.

Oral Answers to Questions — Industrial Situation (25 Jul 1972)

Mr Harold Wilson: ...in those vital preliminary stages before the Jones-Aldington Committee got to work. Even so, the work of the Committee would have been destroyed at the outset, through the intervention of the fussy, prissy legislation which is the hallmark of this Government, had it not been for the intervention of the Official Solicitor—the first intervention of the Official Solicitor. The Government,...

Orders of the Day — Gas Bill: The British Gas Corporation (23 Jun 1972)

...the national needs of Scotland and Wales. I do not think this Government would like to face any head on clash with nationalism in either Scotland or Wales, although the Government are not quite so fussy about regions in England. However, it would seem to me that we would have those two, as it were, regional organisations. Then the Southern and South Western Gas Board areas would...

Defence (23 Feb 1972)

Mr Leslie Huckfield: ...warning radar system which is supposed to be part of a N.A.T.O. chain stretching from Turkey to Canada. It is supposed to stretch 300 miles around the coasts of this country, although it is not too fussy about the west of the country. It was originally conceived in the 1957 White Paper on Defence. That was the first time that the party opposite announced that nuclear retaliation and a...

Orders of the Day — European Communities (27 Oct 1971)

Mrs Barbara Castle: ...does joining Europe involve for us, not only economically but in terms of national sovereignty? Is it to be just a step to a wider free trade area in which the common agricultural policy and the fussy harmonisations and the bureaucratic interference of Brussels will have no place, or is to be a fully fledged European union? It is only the latter than can give us that common foreign policy...

Local Authority Social Services Bill (26 Feb 1970)

Mr Kenneth Baker: ...it, and say, "This man we approve of, and that man we do not"? That is the responsibility of local government, and for the Ministry and the Ministers to intervene is another example of the rather fussy, governessy, interventionist approach of Socialism. Clause 7 says bluntly that Local authorities shall…act under the general guidance of the Secretary of State. That is an admirable...
