HC Deb 06 August 1914 vol 65 c2065
Mr. TREVELYAN

May I ask the Prime Minister whether he can undertake that, so long as the war continues, no Adjournment or Prorogation of this House should extend for a period of longer than six weeks; and that should circumstances arise calling for any suspension of civil rights or curtailment of civil liberty, Parliament will meet immediately?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot make any statement on that in answer to a question.
