HC Deb 21 December 1888 vol 332 c976
MR. ILLINGWORTH (Bradford, W.)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he could indicate the probable time of the meeting of Parliament next Session?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)

I am afraid it would be contrary to precedent to do so, and, of course, it is impossible to foresee what contingencies may arise. As regards the re-assembling of Parliament, I am sure the great majority of Members on both sides will desire that we should have a good holiday.

DR. TANNER

No.
