HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 c1657
56. Major NEWMAN

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether, to help to secure the presence of a quorum at meetings of Standing Committees, he will take the sense of the House as to permission being accorded to Members to smoke while attending such Committees in the future?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I hope that attendance can be secured without the reward suggested in the question.
