HC Deb 17 February 1942 vol 377 c1645
48. Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any statement to make on the present situation in Singapore?

The Prime Minister

With the permission of the House, I propose to make a short statement at the end of Questions.

Earl Winterton

May I ask whether the statement will be made in answer to a Question, or will it be made on the Adjournment? Will the Prime Minister have regard to the wish expressed on previous occasions in this House to avoid, as far as possible, statements on great matters of public moment being made when it is not possible for any Debate to follow?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir.
