§ Mr. CHAPLINI beg to ask the Prime Minister what the business will be for next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERUpon Tuesday and Wednesday we propose to take the Committee stage of the Finance (No. 3) Bill), and upon Thursday a number of the other Bills on the Paper.
§ Sir A. MARKHAMBefore the Foreign Secretary makes his statement, does the right hon. Gentleman propose to move "That the House do now adjourn," so that if hon. Members desire to take part in any discussion on the details of the Dardanelles they will be able to do so? Otherwise if he does not move the Adjournment before the Foreign Secretary makes his speech the House can merely listen to the right hon. Gentleman and no one can join in the discussion.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have already said in answer to a question that I think, under the existing circumstances of the diplomatic and military situation, it would be very undesirable to move the Adjournment.
§ Mr. PRINGLECan my right hon. Friend say whether Papers will be laid with reference to the statement which the Foreign Secretary is going to make?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIn due course.
§ Mr. OUTHWAITEWhy is this House to have less opportunity of discussing the matter than the French Chamber?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe French Premier made exactly the same appeal.
§ Resolved, That this House, at its rising this day, do adjourn until Tuesday next.—[The Prime Minister.]
