HC Deb 22 July 1937 vol 326 c2404
47. Mr. Magnay

asked the Prime Minister whether, in future years, he will endeavour to arrange that it shall be possible to adjourn the House at the end of June until September instead of the present practice?

The Prime Minister

I have considered my hon. Friend's suggestion, but I am afraid that the many practical difficulties which have hitherto stood in the way of any change from the present practice still exist.

Mr. Magnay

Is not the right hon. Gentleman aware that the general feeling of the House is not to consider Members who go grousing on the moor in October but Members who grouse on the Floor here?

Mr. Thorne

Is he also aware that lawyers stand in the way as well?
