HL Deb 22 August 1945 vol 137 cc150-2

Report from the Special Orders Committee, That they have examined the Special Order as required by the Standing Orders of the House; that in their opinion the provisions of the Order raise questions of policy and principle which have been accepted already by the House when passing the Representation of the People Act, 1945; that that Order is founded on precedent inasmuch as other Regulations have been submitted for approval under that Act; 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.
