EASTER RECESS. (Hansard, 26 March 1919)

§ Mr. G. LAMBERT
May I ask the Leader of the House how he proposes to arrange the business for to-morrow?

§ Mr. BONAR LAW
Yes, Sir. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War wishes to be in a position to have a Division, if it be thought desirable, without it being regarded as a Government Division. For that reason, immediately the Vote is put, someone on this bench will move the Adjournment, and that will enable the Division to be taken without it being regarded as an attack on the Government.

§ Mr. G. LAMBERT
Are we to understand that the Board of Trade Vote will follow?

§ Mr. BONAR LAW
Yes.

§ Major O'NEILL
Could the right hon. Gentleman tell us, approximately, the time when the House will rise for the Easter Recess, and how long it will be, so that hon. Members may be able to make their arrangements as quickly as possible?

§ Mr. BONAR LAW
I know the House would like to have that knowledge as soon as possible. If the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put the question to-morrow, I will try to answer it.
