last week before the sum­ mer. recess is always hec­ tic. However, this year a few records were broken- with the House sitting until 6-30 a.m. on Tuesday, after 2 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday and until 9 a.m. on Friday. There are, of course,


occasions when Back Ben­ chers can slope away but the penalty of being a Whip is that you are there to the bitter end. More than once last week I thought of the Member who returned at breakfast time to his London flat to find a letter from his wife on his pillow. It read: The day before yesterday you came home yesterday. Yesterday you came home today. If today you come home tomorrow, I will have gone yesterday.”


V- NUISANCE You may say that there


must be something wrong with the system which requires MPs to debate matters of national import­ ance in the dark watches of the night and keeps Minis­ ters up until all hours when they have important work to do in their Departments the following day.. But one of the few pow­

It is a power I certainly would not like to see curtailed. I suspect that some day I may wish to exercise it myself. Thank goodness, how­


ever, it has not been all party warfare. We have had the Abortion (Amend­ ment) Bill which I sup­ ported and which received a second reading. We have had the Road Traffic (Seat Belt) Bill which I opposed because I do not like com­ pulsion but which also had its second reading. On July 19th tne House

There is, I. believe, over­ whelming support in the country for a return to cap­ ital punishment for at least' acts of terrorism, murder of police and prison offic­ ers and armed robberies resulting in death. I think that Parliament should have pondered long before setting its face against the people. Incidentally, we were

SKIN-piVING in St Tropez was the pleasurable prospect in store for these Clitheroe members of the Ribble Valley Sub-aqua Club as they waited in our August rain for their coach to France. Members and their families are spending 17


days in St Tropez. Their trip and caravan accom­ modation is costing them £90 each.


Energetic training


STRENUOUS training kept Clitheroe Army Cadets on the go during their annual camp at the Royal Engineers’ barracks at Ripon. . A party of 12, under Lt Brian Beniston and Sgt A. .Bonar, ’ joined 400 other. Lancashir e cadets in upgrading courses which included marksmanship, map reading, compass work and drill. The major-’ ity of the Clitheroe boys were successful in the examinations. L/Cpl Mark Beniston


went on a two-day 24_-mile endurance march which included a river crossing.


Petrol cuts danger


RIBBLE .Valley council­ lors' have been urged to keep a careful. watch on petrol supplies in rural areas. Members of the Policy


and Resources Committee heard there was a danger that oil companies might stop supplying petrol to small village garages. Committee chairman


Coun. Fred Green (Wilp- shire) said he felt very strongly about this trend. He hoped members


would bring any:cases of village ■ petrol stations being ..deprived-of supplies to the attention of the council. •


Let lorry licence lapse


A SUB-CONTRACTOR who drove his lorry from Edisford car park to Rail­ way View, Clitheroe, had. allowed the vehicle’s excise licence to expire. Norman Hall, of Bleas-


dale Avenue, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to. the off­ ence and to making a false declaration when applying for a new licence. He was fined a total of


£40 by the town’s magis­ trates and ordered to pay £41.50 in back duty. Mr R o b e r t Hir s t , .defending', said the lorry had failed its MoT test and had been parked at Edis­ ford for the winter. Unaware that the licence


had expired, Hall decided to move the vehicle when a fair arrived at the car park. In applying for a new


licence, Hall -had stated .that the lorry had not been driven between January 31st and. April 1st this year, although he moved.it m March.


Straying


cow brings £30 fine


A BILLINGTON man who recently spent £7,000 on fencing to keep his lives­ tock within bounds was fined £30-at Clitheroe for allowing a cow to stray in the road. „

However, I think the general feeling afterwards was one., of relief that there was going' •to be no abrupt change of status; and it is obviously right that from time to time the regional aid map should be brought up to date so that aid is concen­
