HC Deb 07 December 1931 vol 260 c1517
51. Major NATHAN

asked the Prime Minister whether, in order to enable His Majesty's Government to deal with any emergency which may arise during the Parliamentary Recess, he proposes, before the House rises, to ask for emergency powers, or to incorporate in the Motion for Adjournment, provisions enabling Mr. Speaker to call the House together at short notice?

The PRIME MINISTER

Perhaps my hon. Friend will be good enough to await the statement which I shall make later in the week.
