HC Deb 15 February 1900 vol 79 cc58-9
*MR. WILLIAM JOHNSTON () Belfast, S.

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, as on 28th February, 1855, Her Most Gracious Majesty, by and with the advice of the Privy Council, issued a Proclamation that Wednesday, 21st March, 1855, be observed as a day of solemn fast, humiliation, and prayer, for a blessing on our arms, and the restoration of peace, Her Majesty's present advisers will tender to the Sovereign similar advice that such a day may be appointed as was done during the Crimean War.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I shall be glad if my hon. friend will put this question down for Monday.
