HL Deb 23 February 1939 vol 111 c954

Report from the Special Orders Committee, That they have examined the Special Order as required by the Standing Orders of the House; that in the opinion of the Committee the provisions of the Order raise the same important questions of policy and principle as are raised in the Sheep, Mutton and Lamb (Import Regulation) Order, 1939; that the Order is founded on precedent, inasmuch as it provides only for the amendment of an Order which has received already the approval of the House; that in the opinion of the Committee the Order 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 Order:

Read, and ordered to lie on the Table.
