§ Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSONasked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether he had yet come to any decision as to the possibility of allowing the working hours of the junior clerks in the Foreign Office to terminate, except in cases of emergency, at two o'clock, instead of at four o'clock, on Saturday afternoon?
Mr. McKINNON WOODNo decision has yet been reached, but the Secretary of State is at present of opinion that the general state of business in his Department is not such as will readily admit of a reduction of working hours.
§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYIs the question still under consideration?
