HC Deb 23 May 1887 vol 315 cc1025-6

Order for Committee read.

Motion made, and Question proposed. "That the Committee be deferred till Monday 6th June."

MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

Perhaps the Government will say now what they propose to do in respect to the adjournment for the holidays.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

What I propose to do is to move that the House, after its sitting to-day at 2 o'clock, shall adjourn until the 6th of June. If hon. Gentlemen do not like it, I will not make that Motion; I merely wished to save hon. Gentlemen the trouble of coming down to-morrow. ["Oh!"] Then I will not make the Motion now.

Question put, and agreed to.

Committee deferred till Monday 6th June.
