HC Deb 09 December 1936 vol 318 c1994
Mr. ATTLEE

(by Private Notice) asked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to add anything to the statement he made to the House on Monday?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

I regret that I am not in a position to add anything to-day, but I hope to make a statement to-morrow.

Mr. ATTLEE

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he can give us a good hope of a statement to-morrow, because he will realise the anxiety, which is continuing and increasing?

The PRIME MINISTER

I can assure the right hon. Gentleman and the House that no one realises that more than I do.

Mr. BELLENGER

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that grave financial inconvenience is being caused to many subjects in this country by the delay in coming to a decision, and will the right hon. Gentleman kindly suggest to His Majesty the necessity for a decision without delay?

The PRIME MINISTER

I can assure the hon. Gentleman that that does not escape me.
