HC Deb 17 December 1919 vol 123 c404
52. Mr. EVELYN CECIL

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government still contemplate inviting the House to carry over any Bill or Bills to next Session; if so, whether he will state which; and when the Motion for the purpose will be taken?

55. Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether the Government Resolution for the carrying over of Bills from one Session to another is to include Bills that have only been read a first or second time?

Mr. BONAR LAW (Leader of the House)

It is impossible to give a definite answer until we see what progress is made with the business still outstanding, but I hope that it will only be necessary to ask the House to carry over the War Emergency Laws (Continuance) Bill, and the necessary Resolution will be moved on Friday or Monday.

Mr. W. THORNE

Can the right hon. Gentleman give the assurance that this House will meet again after the Prorogation?

Mr. BONAR LAW

To-day was to be the day to end everything; I cannot say.
