CLAUSE IN IRON AND STEEL BILL
EMPHATIC CONSERVATIVE OBJECTION LONDON. Feb. 22. The Conservatives volubly disagreed with the Government’s provision in the Iron and Steel Bill of a clause dealing with the issue of licences by the Minister to permit smaller firms to carry on production when the industry is nationalised. Mr H. C. P. J. Fraser (Conservative, Stone) was the most emphatic dissentient. He said: “We believe it to be a restrictive, ossifying, petrifying, atrophying, lapidifying, corrupting, stiff-necked, inflexible, and cretinous clause in a bunkum-filled bill which is a challenge to the freedom of every British subject.” A Conservative amendment in committee to delete the clause was defeated.
