MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member for Stoke has asked leave to move the Adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite question of urgent public importance—namely, the composition of the Royal Commission on Trade. Is it your pleasure that leave be given? [Cries of "No, no!"]

The pleasure of the House not having been signified, Mr. SPEAKER called on those Members who supported the Motion to rise in their places, and less than 40 Members having risen in their places the House proceeded to the Orders of the Day.
