• Clause 2—(Powers With Respect To Southern Rhodesia) Commons · Commons Chamber · 15 November 1965 · The Attorney-General

  If a sudden crisis were to arise—again, I do not think that I ought to outline a hypothetical situation which may not arise; one does not want to put ideas into the heads of rebels or, indeed, anyone else in Rhodesia—but if a situation arose in which urgent action of that kind took place involving a fundamental Order in Council taking massive new powers, I have little doubt that the Government would want to consult the Opposition in the ordinary way, and the matter would have to be dealt with, perhaps by recall of the House. I know not. Certainly, we cannot exclude that from the…

• Textiles (Fibre Content) Commons · Commons Chamber · 25 May 1984 · Mr. Gary Waller (Keighley)

  Consumer affairs have never featured as prominently on the political scene in this country as they have tended to do in the United States. For instance, Britain does not have a Ralph Nader. Perhaps it should be welcomed that, on the whole, we approach consumer affairs in a relatively pragmatic way, seeking to achieve a satisfactory balance between the interests of the purchaser and the desire not to overload the manufacturer or supplier with regulations or requirements that are unnecessary. To fall into the latter trap would, in the long run, do the consumer no good because it would deprive…

• Import And Export Control Bill Commons · Commons Chamber · 29 November 1990 · The Minister for Trade (Mr. Tim Sainsbury)

  I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time. The Bill is short and technical; my speech will be short but I hope not too technical. The Bill repeals section 9(3) of the Import, Export and Customs Powers (Defence) Act 1939. That subsection provides that the Act will expire when an Order in Council is made declaring that the emergency that was the occasion of the Act's passing is at an end. By repealing the subsection, the effect of clause 1 is to make the 1939 Act permanent. I do not think, in the circumstances, that I need dwell on the purpose of clause 2. The 1939 Act is the last…

• Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Amendment No. 2) Order 2010 Lords · Lords Chamber · 21 July 2010 · The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Neville-Jones)

  My Lords, the Order in Council was laid before Parliament on 12 July. If it is made, it will bring a group of cathinone derivatives—so-called legal highs, which include naphthylpyrovalerone, known as naphyrone and commonly branded as NRG-1—under the control of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 as class B drugs. There it will join mephedrone and other cathinone derivatives which were brought under the control of the 1971 Act as class B drugs from 16 April 2010, with cross-party agreement in the final days of the last Parliament. The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs indicated in its…
