§ 115. Major MORRISON-BELLasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if, in view of the grave apprehension of those engaged in the agricultural industry, and of those who are responsible for the health of children, 863 he will cause to be set up a commission of inquiry into the question of summer time before any such project is permanently embodied in our laws?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)As regards the effect on children, the Board of Education has already made inquiry, and the President proposes to lay the result before the House. As regards the rest of the question, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which was given oh the 28th February to a similar question by the hon. Member for the Richmond Division of Yorkshire.
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the report of the President of the Board of Education will be before the House? I asked some time ago.
§ Mr. SHORTTI am afraid I cannot say.
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYWill it be before the Summer Time Bill is proceeded with?
§ Mr. SHORTTI must ask my hon. Friend to give notice of that question.
