HL Deb 12 December 1939 vol 115 cc224-5

Report from the Special Orders Committee, That they have examined the Order as required by the Standing Orders of the House; that in their opinion the provisions of the Order raise important questions of policy and principle; that they comply with the terms of the Unemployment Assistance Act, 1934, under which the Order is submitted for approval; that the Order is founded on precedent inasmuch as analogous Orders have already been approved by the House; that in the opinion of the Committee the Scheme cannot be passed by the House without special attention, but that no further inquiry is necessary before the House proceeds to a decision on the Resolution to approve the said Scheme.

Read, and ordered to lie on the Table.
