HC Deb 18 December 1945 vol 417 c1126
Mr. C. S. Taylor

May I ask the Leader of the House whether the Government would be prepared to consider making a statement before the Christmas Recess on the question of their plans for rehabilitation of the coastal areas; otherwise, there are many coastal resorts that will not be able to receive visitors during the coming summer.

Mr. H. Morrison

I cannot answer that without notice.

Mr. Taylor

I wish to give notice in order to see whether the Government would be prepared to make such a statement before the Recess.

Mr. Morrison

It is no good the hon. Gentleman giving notice now and expecting an answer now. If he wants an answer, he must give notice for another day.

Mr. Taylor

I said before the Recess.

Mr. Morrison

Then there is no need to ask it now.

Hon. Members

Why not?
