HC Deb 02 November 1916 vol 86 cc1861-2

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House, at its rising this day, do adjourn until Tuesday next."—[The Prime Minister.]

Sir H. DALZIEL

Now that the House has accepted the practice of sitting three days a week, I would like to make an appeal to the Prime Minister whether he could not revise the Schedule and the order in which Questions are now answered. We are at present working under a five-day Schedule with regard to the priority of Ministers and the manner in which Questions are answered. I suggest to the right hon. Gentleman that he might revise that Schedule and give us one for three days, so that both Ministers and Members may know the order in which Questions will be addressed to Ministers of the different Departments and so that answers may be given?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will consider that matter.

Question put, and agreed to.
