HC Deb 20 March 1930 vol 236 cc2094-5
55. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Prime Minister whether he can now state if he proposes to proceed with the further stages of the Coast Protection Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to what I have already said in reply to questions on this subject. The position is unchanged.

Captain CROOKSHANK

If we are not going to have any facilities for private Members' Bills, had we not better take some of the Government's Measures?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have already told the hon. and gallant Member that, if the opposition to the Bill could be reduced within reasonable compass, I should consider proceeding with the Bill.
