Sir Rolf Williams: On a point of order, Dr. King. Am I permitted to move that the Chairman do report Progress and ask leave to sit again?

Renton) it is quite impossible for the Committee to make up its mind on this important issue, which is a constitutional issue. The Prime Minister abrogates to himself these powers. He...

Sir Rolf Williams: Further to that point of order. My hon. Friend below the Gangway has made the remark and he was rather surprised that he had misheard what my hon.

Sir Rolf Williams: I want to take up the remarks made by the hon. Member for South Ayrshire (Mr. Emrys Hughes). We are always getting arguments about remuneration of hon.

Friend the Member for Barnet (Mr....

Orders of the Day — Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Bill (21 Dec 1964)

Business of the House (17 Dec 1964)

Orders of the Day — Civil Estimates, Supplementary Estimates, 1964–65 (16 Dec 1964)

Regional Economic Planning (10 Dec 1964)

Sir Rolf Williams: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As I understand, the right hon. Gentleman the First Secretary of State has made a statement which will result in considerable changes in the way we conduct our affairs. We have asked him for an opportunity for a debate and the right hon. Gentleman will not give us time for a debate. He is to start implementing this new organisation. May I put it to you, Mr....

Orders of the Day — Clause 1. — (Administrative Provisions Relating to New Ministries.) ( 9 Dec 1964)

Sir Rolf Williams: On a point of order, Dr. King. We are, as I understand, considering the first Amendment, which refers to the Minister of Land and Natural Resources. The right hon. Gentleman's reply on behalf of the Government is referring also to Amendments Nos. 2 and 3. While I support Amendment No. 1, I do not think that I support Amendment No. 3, and, as we have not agreed to take all these Amendments...

Orders of the Day — Clause 1. — (Administrative Provisions Relating to New Ministries.) ( 9 Dec 1964)

In view of this, and as we are trying to justify this considerable expenditure of public money, would...
