HC Deb 31 July 1911 vol 29 cc24-5
Mr. C. BATHURST

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the heat of the weather and also of political feeling in all quarters of the House, consequent upon the constitutional crisis, he will, immediately after the passing of the Parliament Bill and with a view to the exercise of a more sound and sober judgment upon other important legislation, adjourn its further consideration for two or three months, until a cooler atmosphere prevails?

The PRIME MINISTER

I hope to make a statement shortly as to the business of the House.

Mr. C. BATHURST

I would like to ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he thinks it true economy of time and human energy to force the House to sit during the hottest months of the year?
