HC Deb 21 June 1956 vol 554 c119W
50. Mr. Lee

asked the Prime Minister whether he will include in the terms of reference of the proposed Select Committee on the Procedure of the House, the need to examine and report on the hours during which the House conducts its business, with a view to instituting a 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. working day.

The Prime Minister

No. As I informed the House on 14th June, the Select Committee's inquiry is not intended to be a general one and it is proposed that it should deal only with certain matters to which attention has been drawn recently.
