HC Deb 19 October 1916 vol 86 cc768-9
Mr. LYNCH

I beg to move, on a question of definite character and urgent public importance, "That the House do adjourn at a quarter-past eight to discuss the situation in Greece," and in order to indicate that urgency—

Mr. SPEAKER

The situation in Greece is rather indefinite. The Third Reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill will afford the hon. Member an opportunity of discussing those matters which he wishes to raise, if he thinks it in the public interest that they should be discussed.

Mr. LYNCH

On a point of Order. May I not say this, that I intended to indicate the urgency of the situation—

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member is now giving us a resumé of the speech which he will deliver later, if he waits and gets the opportunity.
