HC Deb 21 June 1881 vol 262 cc981-2
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL

said, he desired to put a Question to the Speaker on a point of Order. The hon. Member for Glasgow (Mr. Anderson) had a Motion down for the Evening Sitting, the second part of which was intended to draw attention to the operation of the Half-past Twelve o'clock Rule. The adjourned debate on the Motion of the hon. Member for Gloucester (Mr. Monk) on the same subject was fixed for Friday night; and he wished to know whether the hon. Member for Glasgow would be in Order in anticipating in any way that debate?

MR. SPEAKER

I have not had an opportunity of comparing the two Motions to which the noble Lord refers; but my impression is that there is a considerable difference between them. The question of Order will more properly arise when the Motion of the hon. Member for Glasgow is brought forward; and, meanwhile, I will inform myself upon it.
