HC Deb 05 May 1924 vol 173 c18
27. Mr. JOHN HARRIS

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware of the growing concern amongst all sections of the community at the increasing practice of organising meetings for political propaganda on Sundays; and whether His Majesty's Government proposes to take any action in the matter?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have received no representations which would tend to confirm the statement in the first part of the hon. Member's question: the second part, therefore, does not arise.

Mr. THURTLE

May we have an assurance from the Prime Minister that he has no intention of imposing upon the English people the dreadful Scottish Sunday?

Mr. STURROCK

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that these Sunday meetings throw extra work upon the newspaper workers?

Mr. PRINGLE

Are we to take it that the Prime Minister's statement as to the Scottish Sabbath to the Free Church Council was purely academic?
