HC Deb 13 November 1928 vol 222 c688
45. Mr. THURTLE

asked the Prime Minister if, in view of the probability of an extremely heavy poll at the next election, partly owing to the increased electorate, he will consider the desirability of arranging for the elections to take place on a Saturday, in order that working-class electors may have a better opportunity of recording their votes in the afternoon and early evening?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

I can assure the hon. Member that all relevant considerations will be borne in mind in fixing the date of the General Election.

Mr. THURTLE

Will the Prime Minister bear in mind that if he arranges the election for a Saturday, the working-classes will be able to spend a very merry Saturday night celebrating the downfall of an unwanted Government?
