HC Deb 22 July 1930 vol 241 c2111

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Mr. KELLY

I want to ask whether, as to the date mentioned in Clause 1, the House of Keys or Tynwald was consulted. The date mentioned is the 1st July, 1930, but we are now at a much later date, and I want to ask if they have been consulted as to the operation of this Lace Duty.

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

This Bill confirms what the Tynwald wishes to do.

Mr. KELLY

May I ask if the Tynwald, on the 4th July, did decide this? In looking over the records, I cannot find any statement that they decided it, and it would seem that we are now passing something about which the Tynwald has not been consulted.
