October 27, 1951,

This Session has now been under
way for two and a half wéeks but so
far nothing final has been accomplish-
ed. We are back in the oid position —
unfortunately it seems to me — where
We are not taking up one thing and
following it through to its conclusion
but are chopping and changing from
subject to subject. Last week, for in-
stance, the Government put through
@ resolution providing that Mondays
and Wednesdays only would be devot-
ed to the Throne Speech debate ang
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
would be reserved for Government
business and legislation.

Normally, the Throne Speech de-
bate must be concluded and out of the
way before any other business of the
Session istaken up. This arises from
the fact thai the Throne Speech an-
siouaces Government policy and the
vote on the address amounts to a vote
of Gonfidence in the Government and
it is the settled principle that the Gov-
ernment should not embark upon its
legislative progam until, at the begin;
ning of each Session, it has received a
vote signifyng the continuing con‘i-
dence in it of the House of Commons.

it is a fact that the allotting/of these
broken periods to this debate, and
other broken periods to other sudjecis,
makes it practically impossible to car- |
ty on any coherent and meaningfu
discussion. The Throne Speech debate
to all intents and purpeses, und cer-
tainly in so for as any consistent or
eoncerted attack is concerned, is now
dead as a door nail. Those who attrib-
ute motives in this kind of thing —
and there are some people who 1
attributing motives and see a motive
in everything that is done — zo so far
as to suggest that the Government
roke up the Throne Speech debate
in this way deliberately so as to blunc
the edge of the mounting attack with
respect to the cost of living. 1 am not
a mind reader and therefore am un-
able to attribute motives, but certainly
if this aiteration of the normal rules
had been designed to accomplish this
object, it could not have been more
successful. :

that legislation would be introduced
at this Session to provide for an am-
endment to the Pensions Act to in-
crease the basic rate of pension. The
Minister proved very reticent about
giving us any idea of the amount of
the proposed increase or any other
slightest detail of the propdsed legis-
lation. His attitude was “Wait and
sce” — summed up in the usual Par-
liamentary language by the statemen:
that this was Government policy and
would be disclosed in due course when
the legislation is introduced. Tt comes
as a great satisfaction, however, to
know that the matter is to ve dealt
with at this Session. It has also bren|
