§ Queen's Recommendation having been signified—
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Myer Galpern)Money Resolution. Mr. Sheldon.
§
Motion made, and Question proposed,
That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to make fresh provision in relation to the finances and the financial duties of the Covent Garden Market Authority, it is expedient to authorise—
§ Mr. Michael Jopling (Westmorland)I understood that a Minister from the Treasury was to have been here to move the Money Resolution, and I am surprised 1343 that no Minister has risen to explain it to the House. It is very unusual not to have a Treasury Minister present to tell the House about the Money Resolution.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerWhen I called "Mr. Sheldon", it was quite in order for the Whip to say "Now, Sir"; and then I proposed the Question. It is as simple as that.
§ Question accordingly agreed to
1344§ Mr. JoplingI am glad to see that the Financial Secretary, whom I congratulate on his elevation to the Privy Council, is now in his place. If he would say a few words about the Money Resolution now that he has arrived, we should all be very grateful.
