§ MR. W. A. MACDONALD (Queen's Co., Ossory)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government, before finally deciding to recommend to Her Majesty the reassembling of Parliament in November, will consider the danger to the health of Members likely to result from such a course, together with the inconvenience 1606 which Wilt be caused to Irish and Scotch Members who will have to travel long distances at a most inclement period of the year?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI need hardly assure the hon. Gentleman that the Government would greatly regret if any proposals which they may feel called on to make for the progress of public business should endanger the health of Members of this House; but there is, I believe, a general belief that Sittings protracted into the autumn are more injurious to health than an earlier meeting in the autumn or winter.
