...they must not adopt the usual policy—they must recognise the changed times. I should like to see some more provision made in connection with the taking over of our voluntary hospitals. No one can do other than pay a tribute to the magnificent work that they have done and are doing. No one can do other than appreciate the magnificent services that have been rendered by the medical...
Lieut-Colonel Nathan Raw: ...others, one has to mention hereditary, over which we have very little or no control. Then we have to mention low rate of wages. Then we have to mention insufficient care and attention to babies and children, and, lastly, the unhealthy surroundings in which the people live. Those are the root causes of this degeneration, which I feel certain this Bill is going to put right. It is...
...exchange, of air traffic for the world, when English airmen and not German porters will shout out, "Change here for India, for Europe, for Africa, and for Asia." But this will never happen, and can never happen, without enormous assistance by the Government, not in money, but in the provision of aerodromes, repairing stations, and depots for the supply of fuel all along these routes. I...
Mr William Joynson-Hicks: ..., I desire to say that those who are taking the same view as myself in this matter are not in the slightest degree opposed to reconstruction. We desire to assist the Government in everything that can possibly make for reconstruction or improvement, or for the welfare of the people of this country, but there are certain points in this Bill which I think require further examination and upon...
Mr Edward Carson: ...House, to go into the question of the condition of affairs in relation to elementary education in Ireland at the present time, but I am free to admit that I believe that it is one of the biggest scandals existing in administration in any part of the United Kingdom. The hon. Gentleman who has just addressed us thinks that the provisions of this Bill ought to be included in the Health Bill....
Dr Donald Murray: ...come on unexpectedly puts some of us at a disadvantage, especially an unsophisticated rustic like myself, fresh from the heather, who is not accustomed to speaking when suddenly called upon. But I can quite understand why my right hon. Friend the Secretary for Scotland, with the Scottish instinct for taking advantage of an opportunity, seized the occasion to get the Second Reading of the...
Mr Horatio Bottomley: ...the question of what is called the economic rent. That word "economic" crops up in almost every speech of every student of public affairs. It is a cold and hollow, and even meaningless word. You cannot get an economic rent out of building houses for the working classes in the existing condition of things. I do not share the optimism of the hon. Gentleman opposite, that even in five or six...
Mr. TYSON WILSON: I beg to move, That, in the opinion of this House, pensions adequate for a healthy and useful life should be paid to all widows with children or mothers whose family breadwinner has become incapacitated, such pensions to be provided by the State and administered by a committee of the municipal or county council wholly unconnected with the Poor Law. This Motion deals with a...
Major BARNES: I think it will be generally agreed that in introducing this particular Bill at this somewhat late stage of this part of the Session, the Government cannot be said to approach this great question of reconstruction in any logical sort of way. When we were having the memorable election which sent us into this House, I think that the outstanding pledge that was made, and the great...
Sir George Jones: ...and I hope that the Minister of Pensions will give a light of appeal from this statutory tribunal to a higher tribunal, because if we want uniformity—and it is essential in all these cases—you can only have it by laying down rules which will bind all the tribunals. I am quite sure that if that is done, and there is a right of appeal there will be an absence of these abominable...
Mr James Brown: ...for better conditions, that is not to say that the great mass of the working classes are not very desirous of getting better houses, so that, as His Majesty has declared in a speech recently, they can be made into homes. For after all we have not had homes. The working classes have only had some places in which they could breathe, and hardly breathe at that, and we welcome the Bill, and...
Mr Granville Wheler: ...to which I desire to draw special attention. They appear under the heading "Outlines of General Policy," and are as follows: "(a) Provided the related questions of milk production and manufacture can be met, the production of milk is a field in which State encouragement to the home producer."(b) An increase in milk production, especially in winter, would directly benefit the health in...
Mr Austen Chamberlain: That is one of my difficulties. I am trying to argue the question as well as I can, and when I answer the arguments of one hon. or right hon. Member some other hon. Member gets up and says his argument was different. The hon. Member may desire to disclaim and I accept his disclaimer of responsibility for the accuracy of the figures given by my right hon. Friend opposite yesterday. Let him do...
Mr Walter Elliot: ...that I would not have thought any Member of this House would have spoken it here in open Debate. We wish to find out what is good food and what is not. Here is a disease crippling and killing the children of our industrial classes. We are engaged in research to find out what is the matter, and we have good reason to believe that we are tracking it down. It is a defect of some constituent...
Mr Frederick Macquisten: ...of the late Prime Minister's recent speeches are very prominent in this House. There is quite a number of Gentlemen who have supported this Government, but who are now evidently, so far as they can comfortably allow their consciences to lead them, inclined to go back to the husks of the Asquith period. I am not sure that, if they had made all the speeches they have made here at the time...
Lord Henry Cavendish-Bentinck: ...until there was a general improvement in the health of the country. If we are to wait until there is such a general improvement in the health of the country, if we are to wait until the sanatorium benefits have reduced the amount of tuberculosis in the country, I am afraid we shall have to wait a very long time. I complain that the Government is not doing what it should do to improve the...
Mr Robert Richardson: ...age from eighteen to twenty. Under the Act of Parliament which was recently placed on the Statute Book we are about to develop our system of education, and we are anxious that the best pupils we can get at our secondary schools shall come into the teaching profession. Those who are engaged in the administrative work of education want to do far more than has ever been done before in our...
Mr Arthur Hayday: I think it will be agreed that the only basis upon which taxation can be imposed is the ability to pay it. I certainly hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would see his way clear to accept the Amendment. He stated all that had been done for people with low incomes and mentioned that the allowance per child had been raised from £10 before the War to£25 at present, and that an additional...
Mr James Hogge: ...reason why those allowances were never satisfactory—and they are not satisfactory even yet— was that in the lowest stages they did not even provide sufficient for the physical efficiency of the children concerned. The right hon. Gentleman talks about the descending scale of household expenses. As a matter of fact, under the separation allowances, it was worse for every mother with many...
...most bloody, the most complex, and the most gigantic war in the whole world. I consider that the victory was due in no small part to the work of the British Navy. There is not a man or a woman or a child in this country who does not think that we owe a very great debt of gratitude to the officers and men of the Navy, and it is up to us in the House of Commons to sec that we are not at all...
