§ Lord ROBERT CECILMr. Deputy-Speaker, I wish to take your direction. I desire to submit that the Government in making payments without the authorisation of this House committed a breach of the privileges of this House; and I wish to ask whether it is convenient for me to make that statement to you now or at some future time, because it is necessary to raise this question at the earliest possible moment?
Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERI can deal with the matter now, if necessary, but I will not count it against him if the hon. Member wishes to defer it until after Questions to-morrow.
§ Lord ROBERT CECILI think it will be more convenient to defer it until after
§ Questions to-morrow. [HON. MEMBERS: "Now."]
§ And, it being after Half-past Eleven of the clock, Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER adjourned the House without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.
§ Adjourned at Ten minutes before Twelve o'clock.
