§ On the Motion, "That the House do now Adjourn,"
§ * SIR CHARLES DILKEsaid that when the First Lord of the Treasury mentioned a few minutes earlier the large amount of business he proposed to take on Monday, the forms of the House did not allow of any Question being asked in regard to it, and he now begged to ask the right hon. Gentleman whether ample time would be given for a discussion on foreign affairs on Monday. He would remind the right hon. Gentleman that a Debate on foreign affairs, when those affairs were in a less pressing condition than at the present time, had often taken the whole day on a Motion for Adjournment over the Easter holidays. If it lasted the whole night, would the Government persist in the programme the right hon. Gentleman had laid down for Monday?
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLinquired on what day would the Budget be introduced?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYsaid he thought that the Budget would be introduced either on the Monday or the Thursday after the House re-assembled. There had already been six or seven discussions on Crete, and he hoped, whilst not desiring to unduly curtail discussion, the Debate on Monday would, therefore, be kept within fairly reasonable proportions. The business he had asked the House to transact was really a very moderate amount.
