258 —————— Members’ Business standing in the name of the ken. | junior member for St. Lucy. When he gave notice of this, it occurred to me that the honourable mem - ber would find eonsiderable difficulty in getting a successful answer if this Address passed or was even Torwarded. I made the necessary enquiries and I am sure that there is no. chance of having the hon. member’s request complied with, and I am suggesting that he does not proceed with this Address because it would be rather embarrassing, to say the least, if the House of Assembly passed an Address asking for something to be done if the answer is: going to be ‘No’. I believe tHe honourable member sees the sensibleness, if I may coin a word, of not. proceeding with it and I wanted to make that. statement so that the hon. member may be clear on certain things which. however much we may like, are not just done and tnis, I am sure, is one of the things, Sir. Mr. TUDOR: Mr. Speaker, I have heard with interest. the statement of the Hon. the Premier and I am: glad to hear also that a check has been made tefore hand. to ascertain the feasibility of the passing of, this Address in. this House. Far be it from me, Mr. Speaker, to sponsor an- Address. in this House, non;contreversial as:it is, which might’ be ‘visited. by @..rebuff..qf this House. The Address itself is cf course non-political in character. but still. very serious T will tell; you; what I will do, Mr, Speaker, I won’t actually. withdraw, it. from. the Order. Paper, bat I will Just leave. it;there.so that I. can: satisfy myself. by an. independent: check. of; it: in the: House of Commons and.other, interested, parties as.to whether pe Deagedyre envisaged was as wrong: as it-is alleged. to be. ‘ eu OFFICIAL GAZETTE JANUARY 17, 1957 Hon. G, H. ADAMS: I hoped the hon. members would have understood the explanation given. I took the trouble to make enquiries so that he would not he in the position of: not knowing what the answer Was going to be. I have seen some such questiqns asked, but of course if the hon. member is going to get a member of the House of Commons to ask the question, he along with that person would be made to look silly. Mr. TUDOR: If the hon. member would give way, I never said I would get a member of the House of Commons to ask the question, I said I would have an independent check in the House of Commons. Hon. G. H. ADAMS: I could not do more than I have done through the most appropriate channels. I found out. whet the answer was going to: be and the hon. member said he was going to make enquirics. Hon, Dr. H. G. H. CUMMINS:, Mr. Speaker, the hon senior member for St. George a few moments ago made some remark in connection with the Bill under consideration of work being done in. advance at Graves End. The Minister of Communications and Works is trying. to find out if that: is correct..and he will know next Tuesday. 4 The Order Paper hawing been. fixed. Hon. Dr. H. G. H.
