§ Mr. Stewart-SmithWith permission of the House, Mr. Speaker, I should like to make a personal statement. With regard to the request by the hon. Member for Derby, South (Mr. Walter Johnson) on 15th December that I should correct an error in my remarks concerning Mr. W. Hartington and his dispute with the Transport Salaried Staffs Association, I should like to say that I inadvertently misled the House by saying that he was thrown out of his job, whereas I should have said that he was threatened with being thrown out of his job. I deeply apologise for the error.
§ Mr. Walter JohnsonMay I thank the hon. Member for that statement, which I am sure is in the best traditions of the House?
