Deb 22 July 1937 vol 106 cc923-4

Report from the Special Orders Committee, That they have examined the Amendment as required by the Standing Orders of the House; that in their opinion the Amendment raises important questions of policy and principle similar to those agreed to by the House when approving the Milk Marketing Scheme, 1933; that the Amendment is founded on precedent inasmuch as Amendments of 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 Amendment 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 Amendment;

Read, and ordered to lie on the Table.
