HC Deb 25 June 1930 vol 240 cc1115-6
1. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any conversations are taking place between His Majesty's Government and other Governments for the purpose of fixing a regular date for Easter, and can he give particulars?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Arthur Henderson)

His Majesty's Government are in communication with the other European Governments on the subject, but it is not possible to give particulars at present, as the replies are not yet complete.

Mr. DAY

Have any replies been received, and can the right hon. Gentleman state the gist of them?

Mr. HENDERSON

I am afraid I can not.

Miss PICTON-TURBERVILL

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is strong opposition throughout the country to the suggestion of a fixed Easter?
