§ MR. ANDERSONasked the Prime Minister whether the Government had arrived at any conclusion as to what they would do with regard to his Motion as to proposals for adjournment 852 during Question time? If the Prime Minister desired it, he would move the Motion that evening.
§ MR. GLADSTONE, in reply, said, he was not ready to make any announcement on the subject—not because the intention of his hon. Friend did not commend itself to him, or that he did not agree very much with the proposal which he believed he intended to make, but because the question connected itself with so many matters of detail relating to the Business of the House that it was a grave question whether it was desirable to deal with it as an isolated matter, or whether it would not be more advantageously included in the general consideration of the arrangements of the House and the despatch of Public Business.
§ MR. ANDERSONsaid, that, under these circumstances, he would not move his Resolution.
