41. Colonel BURNasked the Prime Minister what arrangement is contemplated for Whitsuntide; when will the House rise; and for how long?
Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYWill the right hon. Gentleman make the statement early in the week, and not at the end of it?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI cannot tell. I may be able to make it on Monday or I may not. If we do not make the progress with business I anticipate, perhaps it would be better for me to wait and see.
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSCan we have a statement which will dispose of the disquieting statement that the Government only intend to let the House have a long week-end?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe House and the Government are partners in this matter. Our interests are the same, and our duties are the same. Our interest is to get the longest holiday we can. Our duty is to do our business before we go on holiday.
