Deb 20 February 1936 vol 99 c730

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 Order raises questions of policy and principle similar to those agreed to by the House when approving two previous Orders relating to the importation of bacon made under the Agricultural Marketing Act, 1933; that the Order is founded on precedent, in so far as Amendments to Schemes have already been submitted for the approval of Parliament under the Agricultural Marketing Acts, 1931 and 1933; that in the opinion of the Committee the Order cannot be passed 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.
