HC Deb 25 April 1917 vol 92 c2393
60. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked if at the Secret Session of the House of Commons the Government will adopt the practice of the French Chamber on such occasions, and allow Ministers to reply to questions which have previously been submitted to them by Members in writing?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not think that it would be desirable to depart from the ordinary practice of debate.
