§ Motion made and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn"[Commander Eyres Monsell.]
§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEI had given notice of my intention to raise to-night a matter which arose out of the question of the labour conditions in the Assam 1568 tea gardens, but owing to the fact that it has been brought to my notice that the hon. Member for the Forest of Dean (Mr. Purcell), who is one of the signatories to the report to which I wish to draw particular attention, is not in his place and is, I understand, not in England at the moment, with the consent of the House I desire to postpone this matter until notice can he given to him sufficient to ensure his attendance. I had given him notice that the question was to be raised, but I understand that it is possible he may riot have received that notice. Therefore, I beg to postpone the matter.
§ Adjourned accordingly at Twenty-one Minutes after Eleven o'clock.
