§ 48 and 49. Mr. GILBERTasked the Prime Minister (1) if the Government have considered as to any public holidays being given for the celebration of peace; and if he can state the number of days they propose to recommend, and about the date, so that local authorities may organise proper celebrations; (2) if the Government propose to organise any scheme of illuminations and celebrations in the parks of London for peace holidays; has the matter been considered by any Committee; and can be make any statement on the subject?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe whole question of peace celebrations is at present being considered by a Committee of the Cabinet, but it would be premature to make any statement at present.
§ Mr. MACMASTERWill the right hon. Gentleman defer organising the preparations for the peace celebrations until after we have had the opportunity of knowing what the peace is?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThat is one of the reasons why I said it was premature to make any statement at present.
