§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of so arranging the business of the Session each year that the House may be enabled 519 to rise for the recess not later than the end of June.
§ MR. ASQUITHIf we can succeed in arranging our business, as I hope we may, so as to rise for the recess in July, I think that is as great a change as we can at present propose, or as will be found consistent with the general convenience.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDIs the right hon. Gentleman in a position to state what particular portion of July?
§ MR. ASQUITHI think it will be very near the end. (Cries of "Which end?")
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI hope the right hon. Gentleman will so arrange it that it will not be at any rate after July 12.
