HC Deb 10 April 1940 vol 359 c605

Considered in Committee.

[Sir DENNIS HERBERT in the Chair.]

CLAUSE 1.—(Short title.)

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

3.52 p.m.

Mr. Lawson (Chester-le-Street)

The Committee will realise that we are meeting under rather unique conditions, in which we are asked actually during the war to give consent to the existence of land forces. That is the unique position.

The Chairman

Will the hon. Member allow me to put the Clause, as I think his observations will perhaps come better on Clause 2? Clause 1is purely the title of the Act.

Question put, and agreed to.
