36. Viscountess ASTORasked the Home Secretary whether he can give the House any indication as to when the Bill amending the Children Act, 1908, will be introduced?
§ Mr. CLYNESI should be glad if I could find it possible later in the Session to introduce this Bill, but at present I am afraid I cannot make any more definite statement.
Viscountess ASTORDid not the right hon. Gentleman say in answer to a question that he was going to introduce it at an early date?
§ Mr. CLYNESWe are undertaking legislation as fast as we are permitted to do so.
§ Sir K. WOODWhy does the right hon. Gentleman allow this important Bill to be elbowed out by legislation to give the alternative vote?
§ Mr. CLYNESIt is not being elbowed out.
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDIf the Home Secretary wishes to have expedition, cannot he take measures to expedite the passage of the Trade Disputes Bill in Committee upstairs?
