HC Deb 02 June 1931 vol 253 c28
48. Mr. G. WILLIAMS

asked the Prime Minister if he is yet in a position to give his decision with regard to the House sitting and rising an hour earlier on Fridays?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

Since the hon. Member raised this question on the 26th January last, inquiries have been made through the usual channels as to the feeling in the House on this suggestion, and, as there appears to be no general agreement in favour of the change, my right hon. Friend does not consider it desirable to introduce it.

Commander OLIVER LOCKER-LAMP-SON

Could we sit and rise half-an-hour earlier?
