§ (12.10.) Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI think it may be for the convenience of the House if I make a statement as to the Business for Thursday. On the Tuesday when we separated for the Easter Recess, I stated that on Thursday we proposed to take the discussion on the Budget; but I regret to say that I have just had a notification from my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he will not be able to be present in the House on Thursday, he being confined to his residence by sickness. The Business, therefore, for Thursday must be changed, and I propose to ask the House to take the Second Reading of the Clergy Discipline Bill. I do not make this an absolute arrangement, or give an absolute pledge that this will be the first Order; but I think it will be convenient to give the earliest notice of the change which will have to be made.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ House adjourned at ten minutes after Twelve o'clock.
