HC Deb 16 November 1925 vol 188 c16
28. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Prime Minister what measures mentioned in the King's Speech it is not intended to proceed with.

The PRIME MINISTER

The only Measures in the Speech from the Throne which it will be impossible, owing to the pressure on Parliamentary time, to carry through during the present Session are the following:

The Merchandise Marks (Imported Agricultural Produce) Bill.

Bills to amend the Factory and Workshop Acts and the law with regard to the use of road vehicles.

If is proposed to introduce a Bill dealing with rating for Scotland, but I see no prospect of time being found for its discussion this Session.

Viscountess ASTOR

Does that answer mean that the Factory Acts Amendment Bill is dropped?

The PRIME MINISTER

It is dropped for this Session.

Viscountess ASTOR

Oh!
