§ MR. CANDLISHasked the First Lord of the Treasury, If Her Majesty intends proceeding to Balmoral before the end of the present Session; and, if so, whether he will advise Her Majesty that the difficulty of communicating with Her Majesty at that great distance will prolong the sitting of both Houses of Par- 1310 liament for at least two days after the conclusion of all Public Business?
MR. GLADSTONESir, the plans of Her Majesty with reference to her departure for Balmoral are not yet definitely fixed. There has been a postponement made in consequence of the state of Public Business, and I am sure the public convenience will be consulted; but I do not think in any case there is any apprehension that the prolongation of the Session or the postponement of the Prorogation will occur in consequence of the departure of Her Majesty.
