HC Deb 25 April 1901 vol 92 cc1343-4
MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL (Oldham)

Does the First Lord, in view of the motion he has on the Paper for the suspension of the Twelve o'Clock Rule, intend to have a late sitting to-night?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir. My object in putting the resolution down is in order to prevent the automatic action of the rule preventing the termination

of a debate which may be nearly concluded at the hour of midnight.
