HC Deb 04 March 1926 vol 192 cc1591-2
19. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Home Secretary whether it is intended to introduce a Bill during this Session to give effect to the International Convention on Lead Paint?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

As I stated in reply to a recent question by the hon. and gallant Member for Bootle, I hope to re-introduce very shortly the Bill I presented last Session.

Mr. DAVIES

Is it understood that the Bill to be introduced will not ratify the International Convention?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Before the hon. Gentleman makes any remarks about the Bill he had better wait until he sees it.

Mr. DAVIES

Is it not a fact that the right hon. Gentleman has just replied that he intends to introduce a Bill which means that the Convention will not be ratified.
