HC Deb 19 June 1947 vol 438 cc2228-9
Mr. Callaghan

I beg to ask leave to move the Adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent public importance, namely the decision of the Government to site the cold reduction plant at Llanelly instead of Swansea, which involves the expenditure of £50,000 of public money.

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Member has asked permission to move the Adjournment of the House because of the decision of the Government to site the cold reduction plant at Llanelly instead of Swansea. I am afraid I cannot accept that Motion as a definite matter of urgent public importance. I admit that it has local importance, but I regret that I cannot say that it has urgent public importance, and, therefore, I must refuse to accept the Motion.
