§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."—[Colonel Leslie Wilson.]
§ Mr. HOGGEMay I ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, in view of what was said this afternoon as to the elections in Ireland, whether any statement is going to be made, and, if so, when?
§ Colonel L. WILSON (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)I understand that no statement will be made by the Prime Minister to-night, but a very full discussion will take place when the Vote for the salary of the Chief Secretary for Ireland is taken in Supply on Thursday next.
§ Mr. HOGGEIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that on the Irish Estimates on Thursday that point could not be discussed, as it would involve fresh legislation; and, in view of that, can he communicate the desire of this House to the Prime Minister, who has not made the statement which was promised, that some other day will be taken for making the statement?
§ Colonel WILSONI will certainly communicate the request to the Prime Minister. It may be possible, if the House so desire, to deal with the question on the Motion for the Adjournment.
§ Adjourned accordingly at Eleven Minutes after Eleven o'Clock.
