§ Colonel Sir Charles MacAndrewWith your leave, Mr. Speaker, and that of the House, I beg to make a short personal statement. In the Debate on the Prayer relating to the Seizure of Food Order last night, I made one point in a short speech 1618 in which I told the House that I was speaking for myself. The hon. Lady the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food gave way to me during her speech, when I repeated the same point but without again stating that I was speaking for myself. The hon. Member for Nelson and Colne (Mr. S. Silverman) immediately pointed out that I was speaking entirely for myself. I had not the slightest intention of doing anything else, and I would like to apologise sincerely to the House for any misunderstanding which may have arisen.
