§ 9.23 p.m.
§ Mr. ChampionI shall not take up much of the time of the House now for obvious reasons, but I think that when so many nice things have been said by everybody about everybody else, I should like to participate in the great love feast going on in this Chamber today, by thanking the Parliamentary Secretary for the way in which he has dealt with the Amendments. Having sat here and listened to the proceedings on the other Bills besides this, I have felt I could not possibly be in this Chamber, it has been so peaceful; and now I find myself participating in perpetuating the atmosphere.
I wish the Bill well. It is an enabling Measure. We shall watch very carefully the Regulations that are made under it. I wish the Minister and those associated with him all good fortune in administering this Measure on behalf of the employees and the employers who will be concerned with it.
