Mr Arthur Tiley: Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that if Scotland does not want visitors, the Yorkshire dales always welcome people?
Mr Arthur Tiley: Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that the main risks in trade with Japan are carried by our textile exporters without any help from the Export Credits' Guarantee Department—that is, for the whole of the period while the Japanese trade agreement is being negotiated? This is a very important period of six months, and will the right hon. Gentleman instruct his Department to give some...
Mr Arthur Tiley: Are not the figures for those fully employed rather good when one considers the scores of thousands of immigrants who have been found jobs in our country?
Mr Arthur Tiley: I am very grateful to my hon. Friend for allowing me to intervene, because it would be most unfitting if the report of these proceedings were compiled without my also joining in the tributes, as a Bradford Member, to those who, with such devotion, served our city and Yorkshire in these troublesome days.
Mr Arthur Tiley: While supporting my right hon. Friend in the policy he is pursuing, may I ask whether it would not be a good thing if we changed the name of the island?
Mr Arthur Tiley: I am grateful for the opportunity which the Adjournment debate gives to bring before the House some of the details of the smallpox epidemic. It has been a great ordeal for the City of Bradford. I am not speaking about this matter in order to apportion blame between those in favour of the Commonwealth Immigrants Bill and those who are not in favour, or between our country and Pakistan, or...
Mr Arthur Tiley: As I live in Bradford and the Bradford Children's Hospital is in my constituency, I hope, Mr. Speaker, that you will allow me to say a few short sentences in connection with this grave problem.
Mr Arthur Tiley: Further to that point of order. I wanted, Mr. Speaker, to put a new point which has not been put before.
Mr Arthur Tiley: In view of the unsatisfactory answers, I give notice that I shall raise the matter on the Adjournment at the earliest opportunity.
Mr Arthur Tiley: Briefly, I wish not merely to support the Order, but to support it with enthusiasm. The Wool Textile Delegation has its office in Bradford, and I am glad to see that the city which I represent is notable for other things besides smallpox. If the Order is not accepted, our technical colleges will suffer, because they will not receive the grant, as there will be insufficient money for them to...
Mr Arthur Tiley: On a point of order. Twisting is a process in the textile industry.
Mr Arthur Tiley: I am very glad to be able to follow the hon. Member for Mansfield (Mr. B. Taylor). I shall not be able to follow him in his discussion of the last disease which he mentioned, because I can neither pronounce it nor can I spell it. But tomorrow I will look at the hon. Member's speech as reported in HANSARD and get to know more about it. I am also glad to follow the hon. Member because I have...
Mr Arthur Tiley: Hear hear.
Mr Arthur Tiley: Lest it be thought that employers are sending men abroad without any cover—and I am not making a party point—it ought to be said that in almost every case adequate arrangements are made for them to be insured in the private insurance market for all accidents and illnesses.
Mr Arthur Tiley: Would it not be a sufficient restraint if my right hon. Friend began to tax the profits which are being made free in this area?
Mr Arthur Tiley: I want to give my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham, South (Mr. W. Clark) vocal as well as moral support. It is refreshing and a great thrill for a Member on either side of the House to launch a new idea, even at 12.30 a.m. My hon. Friend must sustain himself over the next few years by the example of the hon. Member for Sowerby (Mr. Houghton), who told us recently that for fifteen years...
Mr Arthur Tiley: asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) in view of the taxability of profits derived from Stock Exchange transactions, where the person concerned is in effect carrying on a business of trading in shares for gain, what steps the Inland Revenue are taking in order to ensure that all profits from such Stock Exchange trading transactions, and in particular profits from stagging operations as...
Mr Arthur Tiley: While thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, in view of the fact that it has been definitely stated by my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer that these day-to-day selling operations are trading ventures and are subject to tax, may I ask my hon. Friend what steps we are going to take to see that the proper amount of tax is recoverable? Surely some action should be...
Mr Arthur Tiley: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I be allowed to ask a second supplementary question, in view of the fact that my two Questions were answered together?
Mr Arthur Tiley: I am glad to follow the hon. Member for Coatbridge and Airdrie (Mr. Dempsey). Like all other hon. Members opposite, he wants a bigger pension for every man and woman in their happy old age. But when he looks at the way to pay for it, then, like the Labour Party he shirks the responsibility. The hon. Member said that he was afraid of inflation. So are we all in this matter. And that is why,...
