HC Deb 17 December 1888 vol 332 cc461-2
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)

said, it might be for the convenience of the House if he stated that it was believed there would be no objection to-morrow to suspend the 12 o'clock Rule. He mentioned this, as there had been a kind of understanding that, till quite late in the Session, at least, it should be suspended only on Mondays and Thursdays; but the First Lord of the Treasury gathered before he went away that there would be no objection to suspend the Rule to-morrow.

THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN (Mr. SEXTON) (Belfast, W.)

said, that the Irish Members had not been consulted as to the course of Business on Tuesday, and had given no undertaking on the subject.
