§ Mr. D. GRENFELLI beg to move, to leave out the Clause.
I content myself by saying that, in contrast with the last Amendment, this is a subject on which the House has knowledge. We protest against the abandonment of the proposal in the Act of 1931. We regard it as an act of injustice to the author of the proposal. Mr. Philip Snowden, now Lord Snowden, had a chequered and honourable career in this House and outside. The Clause in the Act of 1931 seemed to be a fitting monument to his life's endeavour. He has now been removed from the field of battle, and it seems almost an act of desecration to pull down the monument which he so richly deserved. We protest on his behalf and on behalf of the House, and we ask that this Clause be left out of the Bill.
§ Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Bill."
§ The House divided: Ayes, 275; Noes, 33.
