§ 47. Dr. Littleasked the Prime Minister whether, on the National Day of Prayer, he will have a Government Order issued 1283 that, as far as practicable, work will cease, and all places of entertainment be closed on the appointed day?
§ Mr. AttleeNo, Sir. The value of the response to His Majesty's call will depend on its being spontaneous, and I do not doubt that the response to that call will be nation-wide.
§ Dr. LittleAs 23rd March has been set apart by His Majesty the King as a Day of Prayer, Intercession and Thanksgiving, should it not be made clear that every hindrance should be taken out of the way, so that all the people in the United Kingdom may be free to respond to the call of His Majesty on the appointed day?
§ Mr. AttleeI should like to see that Question on the Paper.
