HC Deb 21 March 1910 vol 15 cc776-7
Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

May I ask the Prime Minister if he will state, for the convenience of hon. Members making their arrangements, whether he still anticipates that it will be possible for the House of Commons to adjourn for a considerable Recess at some time in the course of the month of April?

The PRIME MINISTER

Without more notice from the right hon. Gentleman I should not like to make any definite statement of that kind.

Mr. GIBSON BOWLES

Can the right hon. Gentleman state whether the arrangements already announced as to this week stand good?

The PRIME MINISTER

We propose that the House should meet at twelve o'clock on Wednesday and that questions shall be taken in the ordinary way. This course has been adopted with a view to meeting the convenience of hon. Members generally.

Mr. JOHN REDMOND

Does the arrangement to start the Debate on the Veto Resolutions on Tuesday week still hold good?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes, Sir.
