UNFAIR TO BRITISH PUBLIC LOSS OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM .. j (Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 2. Appealing for a reduction in the tempo of present-day law-making, Sir Arnold Gridley, in a letter to The Times, says that so many important Bills follow one another in such rapid succession that it is utterly impossible for members of Parliament and leaders of trade and indusft-y to give them the consideration required and to present their views to the Government departments concerned. He adds that, in permitting such a situation, the Government is robbing itself\and the country of informed and constructive criticism which has been welcomed and valued by successive Governments for nearly a century.
Sir Arnold Gridley is deputy president of the British Association of Chambers of Commerce. For many years he has been engaged in the administration of electric supply and manufacturing undertakings at home and overseas. During the war he was Controller of Electric.
