§ Mr. LAMBasked the Minister of Health whether he is prepared to give permission to local authorities in rural districts to make contributions to a fund to oppose the continuance of summer time in the same way as permission has been given to urban authorities to contribute to the funds of the Early Closing Association?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYNo such application has been made to me, and the hon. Member's question is accordingly a hypothetical one to which I could not give an answer without knowing the nature of the suggested fund or the amount of the suggested contributions to it.
