HC Deb 30 July 1924 vol 176 c2053
46. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister when it is proposed to take the Second Reading of the Building Materials (Charges and Supply) Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

This Bill will be one of the first Measures that the Government will invite the House to consider on its re-assembling in the autumn.

Sir K. WOOD

Has the Prime Minister read the speech which the Attorney-General made this week on this matter? Does he agree with him that the matter is urgent? Why is it being delayed?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have got a great many speeches to read in my holidays.
