Deb 20 July 1939 vol 114 c322

Report from the Special Orders Committee, That they have examined the Amendment 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 Potato 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 atention, 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.
