§ BARON HENRY DE WORMS, as he understood there was little probability of the adjourned debate on the Address closing that night, appealed to the Prime Minister to secure him an early day for bringing forward the Motion, of which he had given Notice, respecting the outrages and persecution suffered by the Jews in Russia.
MR. GLADSTONEIt is impossible for me, at present, to come under any obligation whatever towards any hon. Member in regard to offering facilities for bringing forward Motions. We think it our duty, except in a matter of absolute necessity, to look exclusively, as far as we are concerned, to bringing the House into a condition to deal at once, and as a whole, with the question of Procedure. We do not wish the discussion of that matter to be interrupted by the consideration of any subject with regard to which we have any option as to its introduction.
