HC Deb 12 July 1926 vol 198 cc29-30
47. Major HILLS

asked the Prime Minister when the House is to be given a further opportunity of discussing the creation of a Ministry of Defence?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer y hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy) on the 15th April, arising out of a statement on Business.

Commander BELLAIRS

Does riot that involve either of the two political parties asking for a day, and in view of the widespread demand for a day for discussion, may we have one?

The PRIME MINISTER

In answer to a subsequent question in February, I think I said that if there were a general desire expressed I would consider it, but no communication, as far as I know,, has been received through the usual channels.
