§ On the Motion "That this House do now adjourn,"
§ MR. LEWISdesired to ask the First Lord of the Treasury a question with reference to the Education Bill. During the last day or two there had been rumours in the House—to which he attached no credence—to the effect that the Government did not propose to proceed with the Education Bill next week as originally intended. He therefore asked the right hon. Gentleman to say whether there was any foundation for these statements?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI know nothing about the rumours to which the hon. Gentleman refers nor their origin, and I do not think it would be convenient that I should discuss the matter now. ["Hear, hear!"]
§ House adjourned at Twenty minutes after Twelve o'clock till Monday next.
