HC Deb 31 October 1918 vol 110 c1585
18. Brigadier-General McCALMONT

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether definite days of the week were mentioned in the recent Early Closing Order regardless of the different market, fair, and early closing days arranged in different towns in agricultural districts; whether he has received representations on this subject; and whether, without allowing any increased consumption of fuel or light, the Order will be modified?

Mr. SAMUELS

Representations in the sense indicated in the question have been received, and are under consideration.

General McCALMONT

Are we to understand that the Order stands until they have been considered?

Mr. SAMUELS

Yes.
