Part of Orders of the Day — Industrial Assurance and Friendly Societies Bill – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 9 Ebrill 1948.
I put down the original Amendment in the Committee for a sum of £100, and, to my utter amazement, the Government not only agreed to the £100, but have now proposed £200. Really, there never was such a Government as this. Usually if one asks a Government for £100 one gets a bit less. In this case they have doubled the figures proposed by a modest back bencher.
