§ Mr. GRETTONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the Shops Bill is to be con- 1939W sidered by Grand Committee upstairs on Thursday, the 27th April; and if the Papers to be laid, setting forth the views of deputations of various trades attending at the Home Office, will be in the hands of Members before the Committee meets?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am making every effort to secure that copies of the Paper in question shall be available for Members before the Committee meets on Thursday. The amount of matter to be printed, and the fact of the holidays intervening, have made it impossible to produce it earlier.
