Mr Herbert Pease: The total number of licences for the reception of wireless messages on the 30th Jane was approximately 11,000, and the number of licences for transmission was approximately 450. None of the latter, however, was for telephone broadcasting transmission. I am not yet in a position to make a statement as regards the broadcasting scheme, as the question is still under discussion with the...
Mr Rhys Davies: ...these before he proceeds to establish a trade board. I think I am right in saying that no trade board will be established. These three conditions are, in the view of some of us, so drafted as to make it absolutely impossible for a trade board to be established in future. Take the case covered by the words that the rate of wager prevailing in the trade, or in a branch o the trade, is unduly...
Mr Herbert Fisher: ...with the duty of drawing up the curriculum which may deal with her life work. She may be as illustrious in mathematics as Mary Somerville, or in science as Madame Curie, or in archæology as Miss Jane Harrison, but under the existing laws and regulations of Cambridge University she is debarred from contributing any idea or suggestion officially towards settling the curriculum of the...
Mr Isaac Foot: ...right hon. Gentleman was not able to express himself in ordinary prose, but broke into poetry. It will be remembered that he called to our minds the words of the nursery rhyme Do you really wonder, Jane,When to me it seems so plain? I remember that on Clause 3 I had the temerity in Committee to put the question, "Have the Law Officers been consulted?" and the answer given was that the Law...
Mr Isaac Foot: ...woman from the vote until the age of 25, forget that Queen Victoria became Queen at the age of eighteen; they forget that Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne before she was 25; and they forget that Jane Austen wrote "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility" when she was 22 years of age. And all the leaders of to-day are now appealing to youth. The Leader of the Opposition now is...
Mr Hugh Rathbone: ...in taxation, and that a capital levy, such as has been proposed, not by the present Government, but rather by their friends behind them, taking effect at once and during the lifetime of the makers of the wealth to which it is applied was wrong. He held that you must never tax wealth in the making, because by doing so you destroy the motive of saving, which is what you want to increase,...
Mr Harold Macmillan: ...and object to them, forget that even after conversion we shall be paying £270,000,000 a year on debt charges. Some friend brought to my notice the other day a passage in that delightful novel by Jane Austen, "Persuasion," where an impecunious baronet finds himself in temporary difficulties, and after full discussion of his affairs it is decided not to economise upon his horses or upon his...
Miss Eleanor Rathbone: ...needs and interests which are likely to be neglected unless special provision is made for them. That this is so of Indian women the Government do not deny. They attempt in the White Paper to make special provision for women, in special franchise qualifications and reserved seats on the legislatures. My point is that that provision is entirely inadequate. But before I enlarge on that, may I...
Dame Florence Horsbrugh: .... The present regulations are under the Spirit Act of 1880, amended by the Revenue Act of 1886, and there are certain regulations in methylated spirits orders. Section 130 (a) of the 1880 Act makes it an offence to prepare or attempt to prepare any methylated spirits for use as or for a beverage or as a mixture with a beverage; and Section 130 (b) makes it an offence to sell any methylated...
Mr Henry White: ...Unemployment Assistance Board in cases where an assessment is made and that assessment is not carried out. I mean cases where an assessment is made that Harry, say, must pay so much, and Dick and Jane should pay so much, but Jane is to be married and she does not make any contribution, and other members of the family do not contribute. What is the remedy of the Board? That situation arises...
Mr James Maxton: ...dictatorship. I question very much whether the hope that I have in my mind in allowing this Measure to go on the Statute Book will be realised in practice. I have a fear that the Fascist party will make the necessary obeisance and carry on, but the law will be there, and those of us who are not so easily able to swing round into the other methods of expressing cur political point of view...
Mr John Simon: ..., "That the Bill be now read a Second time." The Gracious Message from His Majesty, which was brought to this House a week ago and was read by you, Sir, from the Chair, invited us to consider: the making of permanent provision for the purpose of facilitating the uninterrupted exercise of the Royal Authority, not only during the minority of the Sovereign on His Accession, hut also…during...
Mr Reginald Fletcher: ...this day, and know that they have reason to be indebted to him for all that he did on behalf of the lower deck. To return to the First Lord, the right hon. Gentleman made a long speech in a very Jane Austen-ish manner, but told us very little. Defence, of course, rests upon foreign policy. I think it is rather undesirable to have at the head of a great Defence Ministry a Minister who was...
Mr Clement Attlee: ...first. I am told that some of the aeroplanes under construction are equal to German or Italian aeroplanes, but a great many of them are not. I have the figures here of their performances given in "Jane's" There are 37 different types being produced, and experts tell me that 12 would be enough. The trouble is that these types have not been simplified and standardised. I would like to take...
Mr Hugh Dalton: ...of the ground. The Labour party's policy on arms has sometimes been honestly misunderstood and sometimes disingenuously misrepresented. It may, therefore, he for the convenience of the House if I make two brief quota- tions which indicate very clearly what the party's policy is. The first quotation I take from "Labour's Immediate Programme," unanimously adopted at the Bournemouth...
Mr Joshua Ritson: ...that different types of children require different types of food. I have experience as the father of a family and I know that some article of food which would upset Mary, might be of great value to Jane. I know men, some of the strongest men I have ever met, who could eat almost anything except eggs, but if you offered them eggs they would turn green. What applies to the adults applies...
Hon. Oliver Stanley: ...many miles from our shores and quite outside the stream of ordinary life, which went on almost unnoticed. In such an emergency in the years to come there certainly would not be a twentieth century Jane Austen, who could write a whole series of novels, covering exactly the period of the Peninsula War, and in those novels only once make one indirect allusion to the fact that all that time a...
Mr George Garro-Jones: asked the Secretary of State for Air whether any copies of Jane's "All the World's Aircraft," just published, have been exported from this country; whether he has any statement to make on the matter contained in this annual publication, more particularly on pages 15A–26A, on offensive references to the United States of America, on the large amount of technical information published, and on...
Mr Wilfrid Roberts: ...they are determined to win this war, should be heard at the present time. I want to end with this. I was in the Army, and I read the "Daily Mirror," like so many other officers. [An HON. MEMBER: "Jane."] Yes, "Jane" is popular in, the Army. The strips are popular. It may be that the Home Secretary is going to make an overwhelming case that this paper's biting criticism has undermined...
...residue of all the domestic work for all the other women who have been called up during the last three years. Who has taken over their duties in the home? These older women, of course, the aunt Janes, have come to the rescue. The case cited by the hon. Member for the Combined English Universities (Miss Rathbone) of one lonely, miserable woman who sits with five servants surrounding her...
