HC Deb 19 October 1943 vol 392 c1234W
Sir R. Clarry

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why no Explanatory Memorandum was attached to the Debts Clearing Offices (Italy) Order (S.R. & O., No. 1436, of 1943), having regard to its unintelligibility without such a memorandum?

Sir J. Anderson

I would remind my hon. Friend that the assurance given to the House as to the provision of explanatory material related to subordinate legislation under war-time Acts only. I hope that any doubts about the scope of the Order referred to in my hon. Friend's Question will be removed by the explanatory statement which will be made when the Order is submitted for the approval of the House.
