HC Deb 15 March 1897 vol 47 c744
THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY,

in moving "That the House do now adjourn," said: I beg to give notice that it will be necessary, I fear, to-morrow to move the suspension of the Twelve o'clock rule. [Opposition cries of "Oh!"] I am sorry to have to do it, but it must be done if Members opposite are anxious to continue to develop their views at such length. [Ministerial "Hear, hear!"]

MR. LAMBERT

Is that for the Education Bill alone?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

Only for the Education Bill.

MR. CARVELL WILLIAMS

Does the right hon. Gentleman give us notice to-night with the intention of forcing the Bill through to-morrow?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

No. I do not know whether we shall get the Bill to-morrow; but I do not mean to ask the House to sit indefinitely to-morrow.

MR. LAMBERT

Will the House sit after half-past Five on Wednesday?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

That cannot be done without a special Motion.

MR. LAMBERT

Is it the intention of the Government to make that Motion?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

This Motion is enough for the time.

House adjourned at Ten minutes after Twelve o'Clock.
