SUMMER TIME BILL.

HC Deb 30 June 1924 vol 175 cc918-9

31. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government will now provide facilities for the Summer Time Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes, Sir. The Government have decided to adopt this Bill, which they desire to see passed into law this Session.

Sir V. WARRENDER

Why does the right hon. Gentleman give facilities to this Bill, and refuse them to the Merchandise Marks Bill, which is much more important?

The PRIME MINISTER

I understand that we are committed to this Bill by an international agreement.

Major COLFOX

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that there is very great resentment felt against the Bill, particularly in the agricultural and mining districts?

Viscount CURZON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this Bill is a boon to City workers?
