§ Mr. GRETTONasked when the Resolution which was foreshadowed dealing with blocking Motions on a Motion to adjourn for holidays will be laid; and if an opportunity will be given to consider the Resolution before Whitsuntide?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not at present in a position to make any general proposal, but I shall give notice of a Motion, to precede the Motion for the adjournment over Whitsuntide, which will, I hope, be adequate for this occasion.
§ Mr. JOHN REDMONDMay I ask whether the motion the right hon. Gentleman intends to move will be applicable only to those particular cases, and whether it would not be better in the interests of the House to carry out what is the general agreement, and make the resolution of general application?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI shall be very glad to do so if I can find sufficient evidence of agreement as to the terms of a general proposal, but for the moment this one will deal with the occasion. I hope later on in the Session to make a larger proposal.
§ Mr. GRETTONWill an adequate opportunity be given to discuss the resolution which the right hon. Gentleman intends to propose?
§ The PRIME MINISTERUnless it is generally assented to I shall withdraw it at once.
