HC Deb 19 July 1897 vol 51 c414
MR. D. H. COGHILL (Stoke-upon-Trent)

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether he will take steps to carry out the frequently expressed desire of the great bulk of the legal profession for shortening the Long Vacation by fixing its commencement for the 1st of August and its termination for the 30th of September in each year?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER, Isle of Wight)

As my hon. and learned Friend knows, I have no power to make arrangements few altering the dates of the commencement or termination of the Long Vacation.
