HC Deb 25 April 1907 vol 173 c288
VISCOUNT TURNOUR

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that official recognition is now made of Empire Day in nearly every portion of the Empire except the United Kingdom, he will take steps to have the day officially recognised in the United Kingdom.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

No, Sir; as at present advised I doubt if sufficient interest is taken in this day to justify its official recognition.

MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

Would the right hon. Gentleman consider the propriety of officially recognising Tariff Reform Day?

MR. HUNT

Will the right hon. Gentleman do his best to get Empire Day recognised all over the country?

[No Answer was returned.]
