HC Deb 18 April 1907 vol 172 c1171
CAPTAIN CRAIG

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government will favourably consider the advisability of ordering the British flag to be hoisted where possible on all Government buildings throughout Great Britain on future Empire days.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I have already given this matter my consideration, and I do not think it advisable that any order should be issued with regard to the hoisting of flags on Government buildings on the day in question.

CAPTAIN CRAIG

asked if there was any objection to the hoisting of the flag on Government buildings on Empire day.

MR. MYER (Lambeth, N.)

What is Empire day? How long has it been established?

[No Answer was returned.]
