HC Deb 09 October 1939 vol 352 c31
48. Mr. Lipson

asked the Prime Minister whether he will assist provincial evening newspapers, which have to go to press earlier owing to difficulties of night distribution, by arranging to advance, where possible, the time at which important official statements are made?

The Prime Minister

Under the new arrangements every effort wil be made to issue material as speedily as possible.

Mr. Lipson

If my right hon. Friend is considering in future the question of earlier sittings of this House, is this one of the factors that he will bear in mind?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir.
