LICENSING BILL [4TH ALLOTTED DAY].

HC Deb 13 July 1904 vol 137 cc1553-606

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

[Mr. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith) in the Chair.]

Clause 6:—

Amendment again proposed— In page 3, line 34, after the word 'may' to insert the words 'subject to the consent of Parliament.'"—(Mr. Lloyd-George.)

Question proposed "That those words be there inserted."

SIR JAMES JOICEY,

continuing his speech, said he simply rose to make a protest against the proposal to hand over these great powers to the Home Office. He had always been strongly in favour of the control of Parliament, but it had become the fashion to destroy the control of Parliament and place the control in the hands of the Government Departments. It was a somewhat extraordinary fact that, very often when the Prime Minister intervened, he did so just when some concession was going to be made in respect of some reasonable Amendment; and he therefore regretted that he had intervened on this occasion. Proceeding to argue in favour of the Amendment, Sir James pointed to the Scotch Act under which the licensing authority had to make the rules, which had to be confirmed by the Scotch Secretary. He thought it would be better if such a method were adopted in this Bill, for the licensing authorities were the proper persons to make the rules, but for some reason the Prime Minister was always more reasonable when dealing with Scotch legislations. If they looked at the regulations, he thought hon. Members would agree that the Bill took away from the licensing authorities a great deal of the power they ought to possess. The Home Office would practically become the licensing authority. In the Mines Regulations Act, to which the Prime Minister had referred, there was some protection to those who were affected by the rules; but in this Bill there was no such protection. This was a new departure altogether. He had the strongest objection to any such power being put in the hands of a Department, and he therefore felt it his duty to protest. He hoped the protest would have some effect and that the Solicitor-General would be able to make some concession.

MR. RENWICK (Newcastle-on-Tyne)

said he had the greatest possible objection to the Amendment. If it were carried the whole of this clause would be continuously being raised in the House. When they considered the congested state of business, that was not a state of things which anyone could look forward to with equanimity. The hon. Member for Chester-le-Street had told them the licensing committee was to be tabooed, but if this Amendment were carried it could not be anything else. He wished to see the greatest liberty possible given to licensing justices, and that seemed to be the wish of Members on both sides. He asked the House to consider what the Amendment really meant to which they were asked to consent. It meant that no rules could be made without the consent of Parliament and that every rule made would have to come before them. He did not believe the hon. Member opposite who moved the Amendment, but was not then in his place, could have given any consideration to it or he would have seen the absurdity of his suggestion. He was anxious if they were going to carry the Bill—as they were—to give the fullest power to the licensing authority, and, if hon. Members opposite were sincere in their desire to do the same thing, he might point out they would be defeating their desire by carrying the Amendment.

MR. BROADHURST (Leicester)

said that the object of this clause was to destroy all sense of independence and throw contempt upon all the local authorities. The Bill did not trust them even to decide what should be a quorum. Could anything be more absurd than that? The Committee of the House seemed to forget that there were on quarter session benches men who were as capable of administering, and as well able to decide what was just and what unjust, as most of the Members of that Committee. What could be more wanting in consideration and respect for these authorities than that the Home Office in London should make regulations, look after the application of the compensation fund, and audit the accounts of the quarter sessions? Quarter session accounts were audited now without any assistance, guidance, or help from the Home Office. Surely quarter sessions were perfectly capable of regulating the procedure of their own committees. He was amazed to find a great Department of State like the Home Office passing judgment and condemnation upon the common sense and administrative capacity of quarter sessions. The whole thing was a succession of insults to these old institutions.

SIR FREDERICK BANBURY (Camberwell, Peckham)

on a point of order, asked if the hon. Member had read the Amendment. The Amendment was not to take away powers from the quarter sessions but to say that rules should be made by the Home Office, subject to the consent of Parliament.

MR. BROADHURST

said he would respectfully suggest that he was perfectly capable of understanding what he was talking about and was not in the least likely to be instructed or assisted by the hon. Member for Peckham. He agreed that while the Amendment would do something to retain the existing rights of ancient bodies it would have been better if it had proposed the omission of Clause 6 altogether. Nobody knew better than the Solicitor-General that the clause was unworthy of the great Department of State it concerned. It was drafted on the principle of "teaching one's grandmother to suck eggs." Brewster sessions and quarter sessions were quite as capable of dealing with the Licensing Acts as the Home Office, and if the mover of the Amendment went to a division he should certainly support him. It would at least secure some measure of protection to those bodies, since it ensured that the rules should not come into operation until they had lain on the Table of the House for at least forty days.

MR. LLOYD WHARTON

said he was entirely against the Amendment. He could not see why Parliament should be entrusted with the examination of the rules, for already its time was sufficiently taken up with other work. Up till 1888 quarter sessions had the whole of county finance to deal with. Since then the county councils had taken most of that work over. He believed that quarter sessions were still competent to deal with finance to some extent, and he suggested that certain matters in the sub-clauses should be referred to the quarter sessions, such as the borrowing of money, rules of procedure, etc. As chairman of quarter sessions he should be glad to be under the advice and sanction of the Home Office. Meanwhile he suggested that the chairmen of quarter sessions and the Home Office should meet, and having discussed the procedure to be evolved under the Act, draw up rules which would be satisfactory for the guidance of all.

MR. GEORGE WHITE (Norfolk. N.W.)

said that the object of the Amendment was somewhat misunderstood. The desire of those who supported it was that part of the rules might be left to quarter sessions, and the remainder submitted to Parliament instead of being entirely in the control of the Home Secretary. It was important to remember that the Bill had been passed through the House under very exceptional circumstances. The great powers proposed to be entrusted to the Home Secretary might be justified if the Bill had been thoroughly threshed out in Committee. Then it would have been for the House to determine what those powers should be which were to be delegated to the Home Secretary. But the Bill had been forced through the House without adequate opportunity for debate, and the House might well be jealous of the rights it conferred upon the Home Secretary. He could not agree with the Prime Minister that the rules were a mere matter of machinery. They raised many important questions of principle. By the first sub-section of the clause the Home Secretary had to keep the licence provisionally alive, pending an appeal against an adverse decision. That was a clear intimation that a licence was dead at the end of the year, and, but for the power placed in the hands of the Home Secretary, would actually expire—an argument for which the Opposition had been contending throughout. That power might, or might not be wisely exercised by the Home Secretary, but it justified the contention of the Opposition. Some part of this sub-section was not very intelligible. It provided for the provisional renewal of licences which were included in the reports of the licensing justices, and for consultations with the justices as to their reports, and the time and manner of the consideration of those reports. Surely that did not take cognisance of the fact that brewster sessions was a Court of justice. He did not quite understand how the Home Secretary was to have consultations with the justices upon these reports. Someone must have an injustice done him by such an arrangement—either the licensee or the public—by ex parte statements made in consultation with the Home Secretary.

SIR EDWARD CARSON

The hon. Member is an error. The consultation is between the licensing justices and quarter sessions, and has nothing to do with the Home Secretary.

MR. GEORGE WHITE

said the same argument applied. Those who had to arbitrate had no right to hear ex parte statements. He did not see any provisions made for the public to appear. There was very much more care taken of the interests of the trade than of the public. He asked the Government to reconsider the whole matter and allow a part of these duties to devolve upon quarter sessions, which could deal with them better than the Home Secretary, who could not know all the circumstances; and though there was a good deal to be said for placing some of these matters in the hands of the Home Secretary, others certainly ought to be subject to revision by Parliament.

MR. AKERS-DOUGLAS

said he did not think the Government had shown any desire to take from quarter sessions any further powers than they thought absolutely necessary. Before making these rules, his first effort would be to secure the co-operation of the experienced representatives of quarter sessions and to ask them to assist him, probably by serving on a committee with expert officials of the Home Office, in framing these rules. That was the ordinary way in which rules were framed under any Act passed through that House. It was on the ground of uniformity that he desired to retain the rule-making power in the hands of the Secretary of State. He could assure the Committee that it was with no desire to override quarter sessions or local opinion. He would endeavour to get all the assistance possible from those who had been accustomed to carry out the duties of quarter sessions and who in future would have to carry out the provisions of this Bill.

MR. ELLIS GRIFFITH

said the complaint of the Opposition against this clause was that it introduced a vicious principle into the legislation of the country. He was surprised that the hon. Member for Leicester should stand up as the champion of quarter sessions; he had always known that that Assembly was the Mother of Parliaments, but he had not known before that quarter sessions were the grandmother of the Home Secretary—that being the only inference he could draw from his hon. friend's speech. The Home Secretary's explanation of the manner in which he would make these rules was not at all reassuring. The Bill under discussion was not an uncontroversial measure dealing with factories or the regulation of mines; it was a measure so controversial in its character and so political in its clauses that the Government had had to adopt exceptional methods to pass it into law. And yet the Home Secretary, who was not only a great executive officer but a man of keen political perception, was to frame the rules! The proposal showed a great lack of trust in quarter sessions. They were not to be trusted to settle even the quorum of the committee! He was not previously aware of the existence of the Association of Chairmen of Quarter Sessions, which the right hon. Gentleman proposed to consult, bat it was certain to be a body of one political complexion, and in connection with the administration of a partisan measure such as that under discussion, it would be less capable than one would wish of that impartiality which was so desirable in a body by which the Home Secretary was to be advised. In Clause 6 Parliament was legislating not only by compartment but by Department. However valuable the Home Secretary might be as an executive officer, he was not the gentleman to legislate as provided for in this Bill. What was really meant by Sub-section (c)? Was it really intended that the Home Secretary, after consultation with the chairmen of quarter sessions, should regulate the application of the compensation fund? If so, the right hon. Gentleman would be able to override all the clauses of the Bill. Whatever the Home Secretary did ought to be subject to the control and authority of Parliament, and upon that ground he supported the Amendment.

MR. H. C. RICHARDS (Finsbury, E.)

urged the necessity of securing uniformity in the rules of quarter sessions. In each of the counties of London, Middlesex, Sussex, and Kent the rules with regard to licensing matters were different, and it was most difficult for persons called upon professionally to go from one county to another to know exactly how to comply with the different regulations. If it had been proposed that the Local Government Board or the Board of Trade should draw up these rules he would have voted with the Opposition, because in those Departments the permanent officials controlled everything; but at the Home Office it was quite different. The Home Secretary was surrounded by experienced gentlemen who were able to give the intelligent construction which was so much required in these matters. He somewhat favoured the suggestion of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Ripon that the quarter sessions should meet and submit rules to the Home Office, but on the whole he thought the Home Secretary had made out his case for a meeting between himself and the representatives of quarter sessions for the purpose of arranging a set of rules. His main purpose in rising, however, was to express astonishment at the speech of the hon. Member for Leicester, who had made an heroic defence of quarter sessions. He had had the pleasure of reading the speeches of the hon. Member for some twenty-five years, and had followed his career with the greatest interest, and he noted that his defence of quarter sessions had only occurred since the hon. Member had been put on the commission of the peace for the county of Norfolk. ["Oh!"] He had a high opinion of quarter sessions when the removables were not on, but when he saw the way in which these gentlemen were brought up to support each other's local authority in cases where a local authority was trying to run down some unfortunate private individual, he had not that respect for quarter sessions that he used to have.

MR. BROADHURST

Who are the removables?

MR. H. C. RICHARDS

said they were the gentlemen who sat for one year and upwards, the chairmen of urban and district councils, who as a rule were a disgrace to the bench. ["Oh!" and "Order."]

MR. BROADHURST

On the point of order, Sir. I am not aware whether there is any Gentleman in this House who acts as justice of the peace in consequence of being chairman of a local authority—I am certainly not one—but at any rate I ask whether it is in order for an hon. Member of this House to charge justices of the peace with being a disgrace to the bench.

THE CHAIRMAN

It is doubtful at any time whether it is a desirable thing for a Member of this House to make use of his position to violently attack private individuals. Personally I should very much like to see the rule considerably modified. But the rule does exist, and apparently a Member of this House may attack in any unmeasured terms anybody who is outside the House without any fear of the consequences. At the same time I think the hon. Member's reference to these gentlemen as being a disgrace to the Bench is rather a strong expression, and I hope he may see his way to modify it.

MR. H. C. RICHARDS

said any expression which fell from the Chair would have his sincere attempt at obedience. He would modify the letter of his observation, though the spirit would remain the same ["Order" and "Withdraw"]; they were not a disgrace to the bench, because the bench had been so altered now—

AN HON.MEMBER

Withdraw generously.

MR. H. C. RICHARDS

said it was one thing when quarter sessions were represented by gentlemen like the hon. Member for Leicester or the hon. Member for King's Lynn, whose only idea, they knew, would be to administer justice, but quite a different thing when gentlemen of less experience acted on quarter sessions for a brief time. The Bill was to come into operation as soon as the Royal Assent had been given; it would therefore be absurd not to be able to bring the rules into operation until the meeting of Parliament or forty days after.

MR. THOMAS SHAW (Hawick Burghs)

expressed his high appreciation of the suggestion of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Ripon, which he understood to be that quarter sessions should be allowed first to make substantial regulations as to detail and procedure, and that after that there should be, if necessary, the imprimatur of the Home Office. He was of opinion that the precedent of the Licensing (Scotland) Act, 1903, cited by the Prime Minister, was really in favour, not of the clause under discussion, but of the suggestion made by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Ripon. The present clause read— A Secretary of State may make rules… whereas in Section 49 of the Act cited the words were— Without prejudice to their other powers under this Act. A licensing Court may from time to time make by-laws as they think fit. and Sub-section (2) provided that— A by-law made by a licensing Court under this section shall not come into operation until it has been confirmed by the Secretary for Scotland. The precedent cited by the Prime Minister for the clause was no precedent at all. He did not think it should be in the power of the Secretary of State to make the rules regulating the application of the compensation fund. That was a matter of statecraft. The idea of a defence being offered for this clause on the ground that it was a necessity of our Parliamentary procedure was another instance of the desire of the Government to transfer duties which properly belonged to Parliament to the shoulders of State officials. In these important matters it was now proposed to divorce the control of Parliament and relegate to a set of State officials at Whitehall the regulation, management, and application of the compensation fund. That appeared to him to be a matter on which the consent of Parliament ought to be taken. Quarter sessions might vary in their circumstances, and they might wish to make different regulations in regard to their procedure, and why should they not do so, and afterwards apply for the consent of the Secretary of State? That system was working well in Scotland, and it would give local authorities more power of initiative and less power to the Secretary of State. While he had offered these remarks in no controversial spirit, he perfectly understood that the scheme of the Bill was to give more power, jurisdiction, and control to the quarter sessions of the country. He did not, however, expect to find any supporter of the Government using the liberty, which they all had, to attack the personnel of quarter sessions in the language they had just heard. Amid all the criticisms of the Bill he knew of none which suggested that having regard to the character or qualifications of the personnel of the bench they were doing wrong in vesting them with these additional powers.

SIR EDWARD CARSON

said he had always deprecated attacks on the justices who had to administer the law, whether in this country or in Ireland. He was afraid it was a matter of complaint that parties in that House did attack those who had no power to answer for themselves. That was a matter in regard to which both sides ought to be equally jealous, and he was afraid complaint as to the practice could not come from one side more than from the other. The Amendment before the Committee was that the rules ought to be laid before Parliament, and the Prime Minister had quoted the Scotch precedent to show that equally important rules were withdrawn from the cognisance of Parliament. The debate was now turning on the question whether the rules ought to be made by quarter sessions or by the Home Secretary, a matter entirely inconsistent with the Amendment. The hon. Member for Leicester, who had had some experience at the Home Office, said that they might strike out Clause 6 altogether and that the Bill would work perfectly well with the rules quarter sessions would lay down. If that were true what became of the argument that there was legislation in Clause 6. It was simply a question of which was the best method of procedure. Several hon. Members who had spoken had apparently forgotten that, in the course of the afternoon, he had accepted an Amendment by which quarter sessions were to be allowed to regulate their own procedure in the one important matter dealt with in Clause 6 which most properly appertained to quarter sessions. There were, however, some matters in this clause which ought to be left in the hands of the Home Office, and he could not see his way to alter the clause in the way which the hon. Member for Ripon had suggested. The hon. Member stated that the question of the renewal of the licence was a very important one. He wished to point out that they had already enacted that quarter sessions alone could refuse the renewal of a licence. If there was legislation in the clause he should be as jealous as any Member of the House of relegating it to a Department. But the matters provided for by the clause were all matters of a purely administrative nature. The question of delegating legislative powers to the Home Office was not at all involved. It was of importance, for the smooth working of the Act, that there should be uniformity of administration throughout the country, and that uniformity would be secured by the formulation of rules by the Home Office, which, of course, would act in consultation with the representatives of quarter sessions.

MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire,) Eifion

agreed that it was desirable to have uniformity; but the clause destroyed uniformity instead of achieving it, because it set aside the safeguard which Parliament had provided against abuses in the formulation of rules by a Department. This procedure was by no means new, and it had been almost constantly applied in this House. It had been of such constant application that not long ago an Act of Parliament had to be passed for the purpose of regulating it. He thought it was incumbent upon the Government to show that there was some special reason in this particular case why the method adopted should not be the usual method enacted by Parliament to be followed. Promises made across the floor of the House were very ephemeral, and were often forgotten. He protested against the abuse of legislation by rules where the Act of Parliament was set aside in favour of a loose statement made across the floor of the House. Up to the present when a final body of rules were fixed they were laid before Parliament, and when Parliament did not move an Address they automatically became law without any further trouble. Why was that procedure not to be followed in this case? There ought to be some explanation why it was not followed. The argument that this was a matter of machinery was beside the mark. On that side they acknowledged that there must be rules regarding details which could not be framed in the House and which must be delegated, but what they did not acknowledge was that the power of repudiation, provided for by the Rules Publication Act, should be absolutely taken away as it was by this proposal.

MR. LLOYD WHARTON

thanked the Home Secretary for conceding the suggestion he had made. He believed that a joint consultation between the Home Office and some members of quarter sessions would lead to the acceleration of a satisfactory settlement of this question. In that way they would get unanimity instead of each quarter sessions agreeing upon their own rules.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

said he interposed for the purpose of recommending to the attention of the Solicitor-General the compromise which had been suggested by his hon friend behind him. What his hon. friend proposed was that words should be introduced in the Bill requiring that the rules should be laid before Parliament. That would not in any way subject the rules to discussion in Parliament. It would not make them exempted business, and they could not come on for discussion after twelve o'clock, but it would bring the rules within the Rules Publication Act of 1893 which contained some valuable provisions. He asked the Solicitor-General whether he could not see his way to agree to this compromise and promise to introduce words so as to allow the rules to be laid before Parliament.

SIR EDWARD CARSON

said he quite agreed as to the usefulness of the Rules Publication Act to which his hon. friend had referred. If there were any rules to be made under this Bill of the character and importance which required them to be laid before Parliament, he should at once accede to the request which had been made, but having thought over the matter, and knowing the importance of being able to revise the rules—because in the first instance they might be tentative—he really did suggest to the hon. and learned Member that there was nothing in the rules to make it necessary to go through the formality required by the Rules Act of 1893. The rules were intended merely to smooth the working of the Bill. They contained nothing to which any one could object.

MR. LAWSON WALTON (Leeds, S.)

said he wished to make one observation in relation to the proposed method of procedure under the Bill. The Solicitor-General, following the Prime Minister, said this was purely a matter of machinery. He was not aware of any kind of statutory construction by which they could distinguish between what was mere machinery and what was a substantive provision. What was proposed by the scheme now before the Committee was to cast upon some Department a burden which rested upon the House itself, namely, to regulate the method by which that law was to be administered. What was here proposed was entirely novel, and he supposed it was due to the over-burdening of the Parliamentary machine. He could not accept the statement or the Solicitor-General that these rules were mere machinery, that there would be nothing of a substantive character in them, that therefore it did not much matter who made the rules provided he was someone competent, and that it did not much matter when they were made.

SIR EDWARD CARSON

They should be made as quickly as possible.

MR. LAWSON WALTON

said they had had experience in connection with certain recent Acts of Parliament, that where the framing of rules was left to one of the Departments of the State, the duty was not carried out. In this case they were getting rid of a burden placed upon them, and shuffling it on to the shoulders of some Department, but they were not laying down any period in which the rules should be framed, and they were not providing for checking them officially after they had been constructed. In connection with more than one statute they had had the will of Parliament reduced to futility, owing to the fact that an obligation placed on a Department had not been discharged. The Solicitor-General had said that it was undesirable that these rules should be left to quarter sessions, because they would lack the uniformity which ought to characterise rules of universal application. That was the very test which showed that they did belong to the sphere of legislation. The moment it was necessary that the rules should be of universal application they found a condition of things to which legislation, and legislation alone, was applicable in order to impart the uniformity to the system which was desired. If there was to be uniformity, he submitted that they at once invoked legislative authority in order to impose on a reluctant, or indifferent, or objecting jurisdiction, the will of some central authority. Was that to be the Home Office or not?

There was this important consideration, that when previous Acts of Parliament had been under consideration the rules had been framed before the Bill was introduced. He should not be challenging this method of procedure if the rules had been framed, but this legislation was immature, it was crude, it had not been fully developed, because the Government left to a vague and indefinite future the framing of rules which were essential to give effect to this legislation. In many Acts of Parliament during the past few years, schedules had contained the rules so that Parliament could consider them contemporaneously with the measure which was to give effect to them and add to them the sanction of law. He presumed that his right hon. friend would tell them that the rules had never been discussed. Therefore this was a new departure in legislation. He defied his hon. and learned friend to distinguish between what was substantive and what was procedure. He remembered that the House spent many hours in considering matters of procedure in connection with the Workmen's Compensation Act. The Committee had spent hours in discussing the details of this measure, but the whole legislation was to be at the mercy of the Home Department, which might make rules which would defeat the views of the House. As a constitutional lawyer he protested against these rules being forced on quarter sessions by the Home Office. When it was considered that it was essential that rules should be uniform and general in their application, then they had a legislative character and should find a place in a schedule of the Act. The rules should be laid before Parliament and subjected to Parliamentary review. Experience had shown how the intention of an Act might be defeated by the procedure adopted in putting it in force.

MR. BOUSFIELD (Hackney, N.)

said the time had gone by when the House could afford to spend hours in discussing procedure under such a measure as this. The duty of framing rules ought to be carried out by the Departments. The practice was to frame draft rules, then to consult a large number of people interested in the subject and invite suggestions from them for their improvement. He had no doubt that in this case the draft rules would be submitted to the chairmen of quarter sessions and others, and the result would be that a practical set of rules would be drawn up. If they were to frame rules by legislation, there would be a loss of flexibility and adaptability, and many mistakes might be-made which could only be rectified with much difficulty and expense.

MR. AINSWORTH (Argyllshire)

said that before they divided as to the whole clause, he might be allowed to call the attention of the right hon. Gentleman the Solicitor-General to what he thought was a perfectly parallel case. Under the Education Act every educational authority was required to send up a scheme to the Education Department for approval. He would suggest that if the details were to be withdrawn from Parliament, every quarter sessions should be required to send up a licensing scheme to the Home Secretary, so that he might have every information before him, and be able to decide whether the scheme was one which would work in the circumstances of the locality.

MR. DISRAELI

said that in his very interesting speech the hon. Member for Hackney advocated the rules being framed, and carried out by the Department. They all knew that the hon. Member for Hackney got a Bill through the House which required considerable assistance from the Home Secretary, but no Judge or member of the legal profession would have anything to do with it. He must say that there was a good deal in what the hon. and learned Member for Leeds had stated in regard to this question. After the way the Home Office had behaved in regard to the last clause, he did not know that they were much to be trusted in carrying out these important regulations. He thought that such matters should be left to the decision either of this House or of quarter sessions. The rules were to provide for the provisional renewal of licences, and for the payment of compensation; to provide for the enforcement of any security for any borrowed money, and for its repayment; to regulate the management and application of the compensation fund, and the audit of accounts; to provide for the appointment of committees, the regulation of procedure in granting a new licence; and to provide for the authentication of documents. Now, these were matters which at the present moment were dealt with by the licensing authorities, and there was not one of those regulations which could not be framed by quarter sessions or petty sessions without the assistance of the Home Office. The Solicitor-General said that he wanted uniformity, and so the Home Office was to make rules and regulations; but on the previous day the Prime Minister said that he was in favour of variety, and for that reason petty sessions were to make their own rules and regulations. He did not understand that contradiction. He was very strongly of opinion that, whatever might be the merits of the Department in drawing up regulations, these rules and regulations under this Bill should be made either by the House or by quarter sessions.

MR. BRYN ROBERTS

moved to insert the words, "with the consent of Parliament." The simple effect of that Amendment would be that the machinery of the 1893 Act would be adopted. The Home Secretary would publish the rules provisionally, and after a certain number of days any local body might take objection to them. The Home Secretary would then, after considering the objections, publish them as final rules, which would be laid on the Table of the House and after a certain number of

days they would become law, unless some Members objected. There was no objection to that method being adopted in this Bill. It would secure that the public would be heard, that quarter sessions would be heard, and that Parliament would have an opportunity of reviewing them.

THE CHAIRMAN

said the proper course for the hon. Member to take would be to ask the hon. Member for Newmarket to withdraw his Amendment, and then to submit his own.

MR. BRYN ROBERTS

said he thought his Amendment would come after the rules; but he agreed to the Chairman's ruling.

MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)

said he hoped the Solicitor-General would agree to some compromise on the point. Many hon. Members could not go the full length of the Amendment, but it was perfectly reasonable that there should be some method of publication before the rules became operative.

SIR EDWARD CARSON

said that it was desirable that there should be no delay whatever in the preparation of the rules, and that there should be the greatest possible elasticity for revising the rules. He could not accept the Amendment.
