Deb 25 June 1936 vol 101 cc283-4

Report from the Special Orders Committee, That they have examined the Special Order as required by the Standing Orders of the House; that they have received and considered a Report from the Board of Trade; that in their opinion the Order raises important questions of policy and principle; that the Order is not founded on precedent, although an Order has already been submitted for the approval of Parliament under the Coal Mines Act, 1930, which was of a different character; 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.
