HC Deb 07 July 1920 vol 131 c1484W
Major HAYWARD

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will make a Return showing, in a general way, the powers possessed by the Government which, unless new legislation is brought forward for the purpose of renewing them or rendering them permanent, will cease upon the termination of the War?

Mr. BONAR LAW

So far as the powers are conferred by Acts of Parliament, the Register of Temporary Laws, which is published annually, supplies a sufficient Return. So far as the powers are conferred by Defence of the Realm Regulations, the table prefixed to the Regulations provides a sufficient summary.
