§ 53. Sir WILLIAM WAYLANDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as Christmas day this year falls on a Tuesday and the following day is a bank holiday, he will consider the possibility of declaring Monday, 24th December, a bank holiday, thus giving to shop assistants and other workers an opportunity of spending four days with their families?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have considered my hon. Friend's suggestion, but am satisfied that it would not be in the public interest to adopt it.
§ Sir W. WAYLANDIs it not the case that only the milk and bread trades would be inconvenienced?
