This exchange in the same 1963 Buchanan Report debate made me giggle. I guess jokes about Tory shire county MPs write themselves.

The Report expresses the idea that there is something very unsightly in private motor cars being parked in front of buildings. I do not entirely agree. On one occasion I saw a number of cars, taking part in a car rally, parked in front of a very attractive country house, and it did not seem to me that they detracted from the appearance of that house any more than would have a lot of old-fashioned carriages in front of the house 100 years ago.
Whose house was it? Was it the hon. Gentleman's? Mr Simon Digby (Conservative, West Dorset)
As a matter of fact, it was mine.
