HC Deb 02 March 1978 vol 945 c289W
Mr. Biggs-Davidson

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will seek at the appropriate moment to ensure that the House will be in recess for the proper celebration of Whitsun, being the feast of the birthday of the Christian Church.

Mr. Foot

I am not aware of any suggestion that the House should sit on Whit Sunday 14th May.
