HC Deb 02 July 1940 vol 362 cc671-2
46. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Prime Minister whether he can provide time for a discussion of the Motion on the Order Paper in the name of the hon. Member for West Fife?

[That this House is of opinion that the time has come for a complete reorganisa- tion of the Government in the form of a real People's Government from which all those associated with the policy of appeasing Fascism are rigidly excluded and which will immediately conscript wealth, nationalise the key industries, banks, transport and mines, provide increased pay for men in the Armed Forces with adequate allowances and pensions for dependants, and will use all the resources of the country for the welfare and the defence of the people.]

Mr. Attlee

No, Sir. I can hold out no hope of a special opportunity being afforded for the discussion of the Motion standing in the name of the hon. Member for West Fife (Mr. Gallacher).

Mr. Gallacher

Is the Minister not aware that this is a most important question and that demands are coming from people all over the country for such a discussion? In view of the unsatisfactory reply, I desire to give notice that I shall raise this matter on Adjournment at the earliest opportunity.
