Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am ar 25 Gorffennaf 1922.
As this is a matter of some Parliamentary importance, perhaps I may say something which will clear up the point. This is procedure on an Order which shall not come into force unless confirmed by Parliament. I am of opinion that it would be open to an hon. Member objecting to an Order of that kind to move as an Amendment to the confirming Resolution that it should be referred to a Select. Committee, where the parties could he heard. I gather that that really is what is in the mind of the hon. Member who just now moved the Amendment. That was the advice which I tendered to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport when he came to consult me on the matter.
