HC Deb 28 April 1952 vol 499 cc1169-70

Lords Amendment: In page 1, line 7, leave out "cease" and insert "be deemed to have ceased."

11.10 p.m.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Fuel and Power (Mr. L. W. Joynson-Hicks)

I beg to move.

Mr. Tom Brown (Ince)

This appears to be another dodge to put the miners' interests at the tail end of a debate. Will you not rule, Mr. Speaker, whether the Parliamentary Secretary ought not to come to the Despatch Box and address the House?

Mr. Speaker

As the hour for interruption of Business has come, I would point out that any opposition will result in these matters being postponed.
