§ Lord BALCARRESI think the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to make a statement about the course of business.
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI am very glad the Noble Lord reminded me of that. I am afraid I shall be under the necessity of asking the Committee to report Progress at a fairly early hour to-morrow evening. I am in charge of the Bill, but I shall be away to take part in the celebration of the Investiture of my Prince, and I propose to move to report Progress somewhere about eight or nine o'clock, if we make satisfactory progress. There will be some very small Orders taken afterwards—Isle of Man (Customs) Bill, Merchant Shipping (Stevedores and Trimmers) (No. 2) Bill, Pensions (Governors and Dominions, etc.) [Expenses] (Report thereupon), and the Board of Education Scheme (Alnwick Corporation Payment) Confirmation Bill. Under these circumstances it will not be necessary to move the suspension of the Eleven o'clock rule.
§ ADJOURNMENT.—Resolved, "That this House do now adjourn."—[Mr. Gulland.]
§ Adjourned accordingly at Five minutes after Twelve o'clock.
