HC Deb 14 April 1915 vol 71 c18
Mr. BONAR LAW

May I ask the Prime Minister what alteration, if any, the Government propose in the sittings of the House during the present Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

We shall propose, I hope with general assent, that the House should meet three days a week, and that Monday should not be one of those days. I think that will be for the general convenience not only of Ministers but of all other Members.

Lord EDMUND TALBOT

Will the House sit on Monday next?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will move a special Resolution to-morrow.

Mr. RONALD McNEILL

If the House is to sit only three days a week, will arrangements be made by which notices of questions for the following Tuesday could be delivered as late as the Friday evening; otherwise there will be a very long period during which questions cannot be put down?

The PRIME MINISTER

That seems a reasonable suggestion.
