HC Deb 03 March 1955 vol 537 c2240
45. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Prime Minister if he will arrange to answer Questions addressed to him not later than No. 40 instead of, as at present, No. 45.

The Prime Minister (Sir Winston Churchill)

Questions to the Prime Minister have begun at No. 45 for very many years now, and I would not wish to change lightly an arrangement which appears to have worked more or less satisfactorily for so long.

Sir I. Fraser

Is my right hon. Friend aware that Question Time has undoubtedly slowed down a bit since years ago, though I make no complaint about that, and in view of the public interest, the unique interest there is, in Questions to him and his answers to them, will he reconsider this matter?

The Prime Minister

The House must always keep these matters under review. Personally, I find it rather exciting to see these close events.
