Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 5 Rhagfyr 1973.
I explained this in our previous debate. The hon. Member must accept responsibility for what he does here for his own constituency. He must not seek to push the blame on the Labour Party. I am here only to explain our attitude to a proposal put by the Government. It is a matter for the Government, and if the hon. and learned Gentleman votes with the Government, as is his normal practice and intention, it is no use his trying to push responsibility on to the Labour Party and saying that it was all to do with something said by my right hon. Friend the Member for Blackburn (Mrs. Castle) in 1966.
