HC Deb 27 November 1934 vol 295 cc670-1
46. Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONES

asked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the increasing congestion of the business of the Imperial Parliament, the Government will be prepared to set up a Parliamentary Committee to consider and re- port upon the desirability of creating separate legislatures for England, Wales and Scotland?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative. I do not think there is a general desire for an inquiry of the nature suggested by the hon. Member, or that it would produce profitable results.

Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONES

Does not the Prime Minister think that the adoption of the course suggested in the question would be a recognition of the national demand of Wales and Scotland, of which he was at one time such a fervent advocate?
