§ 49. Captain Bullockasked the Prime Minister if he will now make a statement as to the date of Remembrance Day; and if it has been decided to add the dates 1939–45 to the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
§ The Prime MinisterI am not yet in a position to make a statement on either matter.
§ Captain BullockIs the Prime Minister aware that there are many people who are most anxious to have a statement at an early date?. Can he say when he will be able to give an answer?
§ The Prime Ministerwill give an answer as soon as possible, but the hon. and gallant Gentleman will realise that we want to keep in the closest touch with the Dominions, and than that takes some time
Mr. Skefflington-LodgeIs my right hon. Friend aware that the opinion of Christians the world over strongly endorses the choice of the first Sunday in November; as that is in close proximity to Ail Souls' Day and All Saints' Day?
§ The Prime MinisterI am not sure whether I or my hon. Friend are fully acquainted with Christian opinion.
