Will it be printed before 4th February?
Electricity Supply Board (Superannuation) Bill, 1941—First Stage.
Leave granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make provision for the payment by the Electricity Supply Board of superannuation pensions, etc., to members of that board and to persons employed by the said board, to provide for the setting up by the said board of a tribunal to determine disputes between the said board and manual workers employed by it, and to provide for divers matters connected with or incidental to the several matters aforesaid. (Minister for Industry and Commerce.)
Second Stage ordered for Wednesday, 4th February.
I cannot say. The drafting of the Bill is only being proceeded with now. The intention in introducing it at this stage is to enable it to be circulated during the recess. When it will be circulated I cannot say.
Will it be circulated before 4th February?
That is the intention.
Speculative or confident?
It will depend entirely upon the difficulties which the draftsman may encounter in preparing it.
If you tell him what to do he will do it quickly enough.
He has been told what to do.
