HC Deb 10 November 1927 vol 210 cc354-5
45. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOL-BROOK

asked the Prime Minister if he will grant facilities for the passing into law of the Bill to prevent seditious and blasphemous teaching to children during the present Session?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

In view of the present state of business, I regret that there is no prospect of time being found for any Private Member's Bill which is at all controversial.

Mr. W. THORNE

Will the Prime Minister, if I can obtain permission, send down his private secretary to the West Ham Socialist Sunday School during some Sunday afternoon, or come himself?

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not take engagements on Sundays.

Mr. THORNE

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman who put this question come down some Sunday?

Mr. SPEAKER

These social engagements had better be made outside the House.
