§ MR. JACKS (Stirlingshire)May I ask the Prime Minister whether it is convenient for him now to inform the House whether the Government have come to any decision upon the holding of an Autumn Sitting?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEIn answer to my hon. Friend, I was not aware that he or any other Member was about to put this question, but there is no difficulty in answering. The Government adhere to their intention, which has been already announced to the House, not to advise any adjournment of the House until we have disposed of the remaining stages of the Government of Ireland Bill, and until we have achieved the business of voting Supply. The Government will be disposed then to advise an adjournment of the House with a view to Autumn Sittings for the despatch of business.
