HC Deb 03 May 1909 vol 4 c728
Captain CRAIG

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give instructions that the Union Jack be flown on the great public offices on the forthcoming Empire Day, including the War Office, Board of Works, Board of Trade, and Colonial Office?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative.

Captain CRAIG

I suppose the various Members of the Government will be allowed a free hand in this matter.

Mr. JEREMIAH MacVEAGH

Will the Prime Minister tell the House of Commons what is this Empire Day?
