§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsI regret that pressure of Parliamentary time has so far prevented the introduction of legislation on the lines indicated by my right hon. Friend on 6th November, 1961 in reply to a Question from my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Knutsford (Sir W. Bromley-Davenport). The hon. Member may rest assured that we have not overlooked the need to be fully prepared when time becomes available.
