– in the House of Commons at on 9 April 1941.
Sir William Davison
, Kensington South
asked the Prime Minister whether he is now prepared to commend the Big Ben silent-minute observance to British citizens, so that, wherever possible, they should unite together in silent prayer for the speedy victory of our fight for freedom and justice?
Mr Clement Attlee
, Stepney Limehouse
Yes, Sir. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister would be glad to think that those of us who wish to join in silent prayer for victory are combining to use the opportunity with which the B.B.C. has provided them.
Mr John McGovern
, Glasgow Shettleston
Is the idea to substitute prayer for military action?
