On the Motion—
That the House do now adjourn.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.Sir, the Orders of the day are, I believe, now concluded, and on the Motion for the adjournment of the House it may be for the convenience of Members that I should state that Questions will begin henceforward for the remainder of the Session at a quarter-past three o'clock instead of half-past three. That is the usual practice at this time of the Session after private business has been disposed of. I think it advisable to make this declaration public in order to satisfy the convenience of Members who desire to ask Questions.
§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)May I ask the right honourable Gentleman this question, whether, after all, the House of Commons, and even the followers of the right honourable Gentleman, should not have a certain amount if notice of this; matter? How is it that the right honourable Gentleman comes down at this late hour to make this announcement when hardly anybody happens to be present? Is it fair to the House of Commons, is it fair to his own colleagues—
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order! The question is that this House do now adjourn.
§ House adjourned at 12.10.
