HC Deb 23 March 1926 vol 193 c1041
Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD

May I ask the Prime Minister whether he can make any announcement regarding the arrangements for Easter, and whether, at the same time, it is possible to give us an idea of when it is proposed that the Budget statement should be made?

The PRIME MINISTER

I hope the House will be able to rise on Thursday, 1st April, and reassemble on Tuesday the 13th. The House will meet at Eleven o'clock on the Thursday. I cannot give any indication about the Budget. Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will put a question down a little later on.

Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOK

May I ask you, Mr. Speaker, whether, if the House adjourn from the 1st to the 13th of April, there is any necessity for the Ballot for Motions on 7th April?

Mr. SPEAKER

I do not like to deprive hon. Members of their opportunities, such as they are, and the House has not yet decided to adjourn at all.
