HC Deb 26 April 1923 vol 163 c668
58. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that over 220 Members of this House, belonging to all parties, have declared themselves in favour of the abolition by law of night baking; and whether, in view of that fact, he will reconsider his decision and introduce legislation on this subject at an early date?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

My right hon. Friend has no doubt that a Bill to abolish night baking would command a large measure of support, but he is also satisfied that it could not at present be passed without serious controversy. He regrets, therefore, he does not see his way to advise the Government to undertake legislation for the purpose this Session.
