§ MR. J. W. MACLURE (Lancashire, Stretford)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he intends to recommend the House to adjourn for the Whitsuntide holidays to a day beyond the 3rd of June?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI am afraid that it would be premature to make any statement on the subject. I have no personal preference for short holidays, I can assure hon. Members. ["Hear, hear!" and laughter.]
