HC Deb 20 September 1939 vol 351 cc946-7
47. Miss Rathbone

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider making a change in the Standing Orders which would permit the handing in of Parliamentary questions on days when the House would normally sit but is not now sitting, in order to obviate the long delay necessitated by the present arrangements in obtaining oral replies?

The Prime Minister

The hon. Member's suggestion is being considered through the usual channels.
