HC Deb 15 April 1913 vol 51 cc1907-8
Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I beg to move, "That this House do now adjourn."

Mr. KING

I wish to call attention to the important fact that there are vacan- cies on some of the Committees which need to be filled up, and there is a vacancy on the Putumayo Committee.

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Mr. Maclean)

The hon. Member cannot discuss the Orders of the Day on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House.

Mr. KING

I ventured to hope that the Orders of the Day will be gone through, that those appointments will be made, and that then the House will adjourn.

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am pledge bound to move the Adjournment at this stage, and therefore I cannot go back upon it at this moment. If this matter had been called to my attention, I might have made some other arrangements, but I am bound by the arrangements, and I hope, under those circumstances, my hon. Friend will be satisfied.

Mr. KING

I quite accept the explanation.
