§ MR. E. ROBERTSON (Dundee)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, having regard to the fact that a Motion for the Adjournment moved for the purpose of calling attention to a matter of urgent public importance, involves if successful the loss of a Parliamentary day, he will withdraw the proposed Second Rule of Procedure, and propose another whereby such inconvenience may for the future be avoided?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)I think the suggestion of the hon. and learned Gentleman is worthy of consideration, and I will undertake to give it the attention it requires.
