Mr Neville Sandelson: I wish to raise one point which arises out of Part II, Clause 7, and to ask the Solicitor-General whether he will consider the possibility of using members of the Bar in this capacity. At the moment, the provision relates to solicitors only. However, we have a pool of legal ability, especially among younger members of the Bar, which should not be ignored in this connection. Members of the Bar...
Mr Neville Sandelson: What do the hares say about it?
Mr Neville Sandelson: rose—
Mr Neville Sandelson: Has the hon. Gentleman seen anyone policing the hares?
Mr Neville Sandelson: Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is growing concern about prospects of employment at Heathrow as a result of the development of the third London airport? Would he give some reassurance about future employment prospects for those now employed at Heathrow?
Mr Neville Sandelson: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr Neville Sandelson: The hon. Gentleman has misled the House, though I am sure inadvertently. A few moments ago, he criticised the T.U.C. for the contents of the first page of its document "Good Industrial Relations"——
Mr Neville Sandelson: I do not want to mention paragraph 5. I restrict my remarks to the paragraphs referred to by the hon. Gentleman himself. The hon. Gentleman referred to paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 and saw fit to criticise the T.U.C. for saying that it was inevitable that the interests of workers should run counter to those of employers. The hon. Gentleman implied that that was a most unfortunate approach on the...
Mr Neville Sandelson: rose——
Mr Neville Sandelson: Whatever other facilities may be available is not it a deprivation for the individual child?
Mr Neville Sandelson: I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time. In the few moments left to me I want to thank the Government for having given this Measure their full support and, indeed, for having drafted the Bill for me. The present state of the law is such that wives of the marriages with which the Bill is concerned cannot obtain relief even from cruelty or any other form of marital abuse. They...
Mr Neville Sandelson: I am glad to follow the hon. Member for Arundel and Shoreham (Mr. Luce), not least because I agree almost in the entirety with what he has said on this subject. I shall probably be adopting almost all his arguments. As the fairly recent entrant to the House, even more recent than the hon. Member for Arundel and Shoreham, I hope that I may say without presumption that the Boyle Report...
Mr Neville Sandelson: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. What he has said is true and is applicable to many Members who are in the House at the moment. This unsatisfactory state of affairs goes much beyond the level of remuneration. In a debate on Members' expenses and allowances two years ago, my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Walton (Mr. Heffer) stated the position very clearly. He enumerated the...
Mr Neville Sandelson: I must of necessity be brief in what I have to say. For a long time past, as a result of the policies of successive Governments, manufacturing industry throughout the entire London region has been in decline and this process has accelerated alarmingly over the last few years. If I refer specifically to West London it is because my constituency lies there, but essentially the same conditions...
Mr Neville Sandelson: I am speaking tonight briefly for the first time on this subject in the House, and I am speaking for thousands of constituents who live in residential areas in close proximity to Heathrow and their families who are among the worst afflicted in Britain by aircraft noise and vibration, and indeed by aircraft pollution, which from my experience in this constituency in recent months I know...
Mr Neville Sandelson: I am most obliged. Knowing my hon. Friend as well as I do, I take that as a very grand concession, although I would on other occasions proffer other arguments. I hope that the Minister will consider amending existing legislation which deprives individuals of their rights here. This statutory power not only deprives the many sufferers around airports of some way of seeking redress: it also...
Mr Neville Sandelson: Few hon. Members address the House for the first time without a measure of diffidence, and I am no exception in that respect. In addition, one cannot take the place of Arthur Skeffington as Member for Hayes and Harlington without some humility. I am conscious that he was held in great esteem by the whole House, which recognised his many qualities, not least his personal integrity, and his...
