§ MR. BROOKFIELD (Sussex, Eye)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he could inform the House how soon the noble Lord the Chancellor of the Duchy (Lord John Manners) was likely to be able to resume his place in the House, and to transact the business of his Department?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)I am happy to say that my noble Friend is recovering from his severe illness. I am sure this news will be gratifying to the House. My noble Friend hopes to be in his place in the course of a week or 10 days.
