Countdown to World War Two: Monday 28 August 1939

By Mark Fielder
Parliament recalled

Headline: Parliament is recalled and will meet tomorrow afternoon.

Following this afternoon's Cabinet meeting it was announced that Parliament - which would normally be in recess - would be summoned to meet tomorrow afternoon.

When Parliament met last Thursday it was agreed that they would adjourn until the end of this week, though the Prime Minister did warn members at the time that they should hold themselves in readiness in case Parliament was recalled at short notice.
