HC Deb 16 June 1902 vol 109 cc714-5
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he intends to move an Address to the Throne in connection with the Coronation; and, if so, when; and whether he can say when the Motion for the Adjournment for the Coronation will be moved, and for how long a period the Adjournment will last.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. As regards the second part of the Question, I propose to move the Adjournment of the House at the evening sitting on Tuesday, June 24th, the Adjournment to take effect from the evening sitting on Wednesday, inclusive—that is to say, if this plan is carried out, we should not sit on Wednesday evening, and the Adjournment, beginning at the evening sitting on Wednesday, would last to the following Tuesday, inclusive.
