Part of Orders of the Day — Finance Bill. – in the House of Commons am ar 29 Mehefin 1939.
I recognise the sweet reasonableness of the right hon. Gentleman and congratulate him on his desire to meet suggestions in order to secure co-operation in making this Clause a success. It occurs to me, however, that it is a little dangerous to have promises of this kind made in the Committee, which might suggest that if a contract is not marked as an armament contract, it would be immune from any liability under this Clause. That would be a very serious thing in the light of our discussion this afternoon about border-line cases.
