HC Deb 29 January 1952 vol 495 cc2-3W
52. Mr. Proctor

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that Wales and Scotland are accorded special Parliamentary time for the discussion of Welsh and Scottish matters, he will consider granting special Parliamentary time, in order to discuss matters arising in England, arranged on a regional basis.

The Prime Minister

It is refreshing to see the word "England" printed on any Parliamentary paper. But I feel that in this case the "English" should be content with what is left over for them in the normal course of Parliamentary business. I cannot feel that English Members suffer any serious disadvantage which would be removed by arrangements on a regional basis.
