HC Deb 17 March 1913 vol 50 c700
47. Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

asked the Prime Minister if he will consider the advisability of the House meeting early and rising correspondingly early on Thursday, 20th March, so as to permit Members who live at a long distance from London to spend the whole of Good Friday at home?

The PRIME MINISTER

If there is a general desire in the House that the sitting on Thursday should be an early one, I will gladly give effect to it, and move an Amendment to the Resolution. But I can only agree to this if Thursday will be regarded as a whole allotted day.
