48. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Prime Minister the total number of Orders in Council that the Government have introduced in the period 3rd September, 1939, and 1st November, 1943?
§ The Prime MinisterThe total number is 2,757.
Mr. De la BèreWill the Prime Minister endeavour in the future to limit their number, and will he also review the very large numbers which have been made, as some of them are rather indigestible and require further thought?
§ The Prime MinisterI certainly do not desire to take such a laborious task upon myself.
