PARLIAMENT—ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE—MOTION. (Hansard, 9 June 1884)

§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY
said, he had no opposition to make to the proposal, provided that the House should have an opportunity of discussing the result of the negotiations with respect to the Conference, and that it was impossible that the noble Earl should be able to make any further explanation before that day. If that were the case, of course, no advantage would come from meeting at an earlier time.

§ EARL GRANVILLE
said, that he had always put himself in the hands of the noble Marquess with respect to the Adjournment. He had done so, when he had proposed an Adjournment for three weeks, and he agreed to the noble Marquess's wish that the House should meet that day. The noble Marquess seemed to be very glad they had met that day, and he (Earl Granville) was also very glad, for reasons which he need not specify. He was entirely in the hands 1741 of the noble Marquess; but he did not think it was likely he could give any information about the negotiations before next week.

§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY
Say Friday.

§ EARL GRANVILLE
consented.
