§ 47. Rear-Admiral Beamishasked the Prime Minister whether he is satisfied that the high standard rapidly being attained by the Home Guard and the general preparedness in the country, now justifies the restoration of church bells to their normal function; and will he consider Christmas Day as a suitable occasion for such a change?
§ The Lord Privy Seal (Mr. Attlee)I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister gave on 5th December last year in answer to a Question on this subject, a copy of which I am sending him. The position is still the same as stated in that reply.
