HC Deb 26 February 1919 vol 112 c1739
57. Mr. ARNOLD

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the cessation of hostilities, no further regulations will be made under the Defence of the Realm Acts?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is not possible to give this undertaking.

Mr. ARNOLD

May I ask whether Parliament will be given an opportunity to discuss and criticise any new Orders which may be proposed before they are made?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I cannot promise that, but certainly the Government will make very sparing use of this power, and only use it when it is absolutely necessary.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

What about the paper business?
