§ LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILLI beg to ask the noble Marquess the Secretary of State for India, Whether he will inform the House, in the absence of the Prime Minister, what is likely to happen in case all the Amendments on the New Rules are got through to-night—I mean, in the way of Prorogation, or anything of that kind?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONIn the happy contingency referred to by the noble Lord we should propose to adjourn till to-morrow. A formal Notice to that effect is not necessary. We shall not propose in any case the House should sit to-morrow for Business; but if the Rules are disposed of to-night, the House would sit to-morrow for the purpose of being prorogued.
§ SIR WILFRID LAWSONIs it understood that, if the House should meet to-morrow for Prorogation, no other Business will be taken at all?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONThe House will meet, I believe, at the usual hour—4 o'clock—and, of course, Business could be proceeded with until the time of Prorogation arrives.
