§ Resolved:
§ That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, praying that the Order, dated 11th May, 1951, entitled the Gypsum Rock (Prices) (No. 1) Order. 1951 (S.I., 1951, No. 866), a copy of which was laid before this House on 16th May, be annulled.—[Mr. C. S. Taylor.]
§ Addresses to be presented by Privy Councillors or Members of His Majesty's Household.
§ Captain Crookshank (Gainsborough)In view of the fact that the House has now annulled three Government Orders, may I ask the Leader of the House what he proposes to do, because on the last occasion on which this happened we were told that the will of the House would be respected, but the Order was reintroduced almost at once. May we take it that after such a decisive decision as this, this Order is dead?
§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Ede)The House has decided that the three Orders shall be annulled. They will be annulled. I beg pardon; no, they are not annulled until His Majesty gives his consent. I am not trying to score a point. That is the correct formula to use. I shall consider 2660 with my right hon. Friends the proper course to pursue in view of the decision of the House on these three Orders.
