HC Deb 04 March 1915 vol 70 c982
51. Mr. TURTON

asked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the fact that so many bank clerks are on active service and that those who remain are working at high pressure, and moreover as on the Saturday before Easter very little business is done, he is prepared to declare Saturday, 3rd April, an additional Bank holiday?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think that there would be considerable difficulties in giving effect to the suggestion.
