66. Colonel NEWMANasked the Prime Minister whether he will take an early opportunity of consulting the convenience of private Members of the House by informing them of the Government's intention with regard to an Autumn Session?
§ 70. Mr. ROBERT YOUNGasked the Lord Privy Seal whether, in order that Members may be able to enjoy a summer holiday with their families, he will consider the advisability of adjourning the House towards the end of July, instead of sitting until late in August, and commence the autumn sitting earlier than usual?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWAn Autumn Session is, I am sorry to say, inevitable, and it is the desire of the Government to adjourn as near the end of July as possible; but that must depend on the progress of business which has to be dealt with before the Adjournment.
§ Mr. BILLINGCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether it is proposed to deal with the Liquor Bill before July?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt is quite impossible to carry it through before then.
§ Lord HUGH CECILCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the Autumn Session will begin?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWAt this stage it is impossible to say.
