HC Deb 30 July 1935 vol 304 cc2530-1

Lords Amendment: In page 36, line 35, leave out "Sukkur Barrage" and insert "Lloyd Barrage and Canals."

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."—[Mr. Butler.]

5.40 p.m.

Mr. ATTLEE

I should like to ask whether this change is proposed in order to commemorate the barrage put up by Lord Lloyd in another place? If so, it should be called the "Lloyd Churchill Barrage" in fairness to the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Epping (Mr. Churchill).

Mr. COCKS

Or is it the Lloyd Barrage of the New Deal?

Mr. BUTLER

I can give a simple answer to those questions by saying that the name proposed is the correct one for what was previously called the Sukkur Barrage. Its proper name is the Lloyd Barrage and Canals, and the Government, wishing to be correct, have decided to make this Amendment.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 41, line 17, agreed to.
