Deb 09 September 1941 vol 120 c22

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 important questions of policy and principle; that the Order is not founded on precedent, inasmuch as no proposal for the amendment of the First Schedule of the Prices of Goods Act, 1939, has hitherto been submitted to the House; 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.
