usefulness would be secured only if it is applied quickly
for an emergency and removed when that emergency is passed. There is no reason if that emergency ceases at any time before June 1, 1939, why the Ordinance should not be repealed before
that date.
I hope I have said enough to show the present and
pressing need for such legislation, and if it is to be passed at all I suggest with deference, that it is the only measure
of its kind in English legislation which appears to cover the
present emergency. I suggest that this is a case not only
where Your Excellency should allow this notice to stand valid
for this meeting, but also to allow suspension of Standing
Orders to enable the Bill to pass through all its stages
under Standing Order 29.
