§ On the motion for the adjournment of the House.
§ SIR J. DICKSON-POYNDER (Wiltshire, Chippenham)May I be permitted to ask the Leader of the House a question with regard to the debate upon the Army resolution to-morrow? I wish to ask whether, in view of the fact that so many hon. Members on this side desire to speak upon this question, and in view of its great importance, the First Lord of the Treasury can see his way to allow the discussion to be prolonged over to-morrow, and allow us to have another day for the consideration of this important matter.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI quite recognise that there has been some natural disappointment in connection with the debate, and that many hon. Gentlemen have not found an opportunity to speak, partly owing to the great length of some of the speeches that have been made. I earnestly hope that in the day which remains hon. Gentlemen will endeavour to compress their remarks within narrower limits. But there is a general agreement on both sides of the House that the division should be taken tomorrow, and my hon. friend knows that it would be very inconvenient to upset this arrangement. I am obliged, therefore, upon the present occasion, to give an unfavourable reply to this question.
§ House adjourned at twenty minutes before Six of the clock.
