HC Deb 11 May 1909 vol 4 c1668
Captain CRAIG

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will permit the national flag to be flown over the offices of the Board of Education on forthcoming Empire Day.

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I beg to refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Prime Minister on 19th May last year, which, so far as I am concerned, still holds good.

Captain CRAIG

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he knows anybody outside the Cabinet who objects to the flying of the flag on Empire Day?

Mr. STANLEY WILSON

Are we to understand that in the opinion of the present Government Empire Day is a day not worthy of celebration?
