§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the House, at its rising, adjourn to Monday, 2nd June."—(Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer?)
§ SIR W. LAWSONI desire to ask, before the Motion is agreed to, the Government whether if a Motion is made for the adjournment of the House in order that hon. Members may attend a horse race at Epsom they will support that Motion? The business of the House is now in such a congested condition that I think it desirable to take every day we can obtain for the advancement of public business, and, therefore, the Government ought not to countenance an adjournment for such a purpose as I have indicated.
§ * MR. GOSCHENI can only answer the hon. Baronet by leave of the House; but I would point out that however congested the business of the House may be the Government have not proposed to take Wednesdays for the purpose of proceeding with Government business.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Resolved, That this House at its rising do adjourn till Monday 2nd June.—(Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer.)
