§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."—[Major Sir James Edmondson.]
§ Mr. BuchananMay I press the Minister on the point raised by the hon. Member for Llanelly (Mr. J. Griffiths)? Are we sure to get this new codification when we come back after the Recess? It is terribly important, and I would like the right hon. Gentleman to give us some further guarantee.
Mr. BrownI am always glad to meet the House and my hon. Friend, but I cannot say more than that the Board will produce the simplification and codification as quickly as it can be done, and then it will be open for Debate in the House.
§ Mr. BuchananThe right hon. Gentleman has now given a guarantee that the Board will do it as soon as they can. What I do not want is a long drawn out dispute, such as might very well take place between Government Departments and the Board, while in the meanwhile the pensioners are suffering. Will the right hon. Gentleman give a guarantee that the House will get the codification at an early date?
Mr. BrownI cannot go further than I have done. The Board will do it as early as it is possible to do it, and we will do the same.
