HC Deb 02 May 1890 vol 344 c14
MR. HERBERT KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government have come to any decision as to the best means of securing the rising of the House of Commons at an earlier period of the year than has been the case in recent years?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

I am sorry to say that the Government have not yet been able to come to any decision as to the best means of securing this most desirable object. I am afraid the subject is more difficult than the hon. Member supposes.

MR. H. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

I shall return to this subject after Whitsuntide.
