§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."—[Commander Tires Monsell.]
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYI must again, on this Motion, protest against the autocratic conduct of the Parliamentary Secretary to the 1268 Treasury. Here we are, at seventeen minutes to eleven, and there are on the Paper a number of private Members' Bills, in none of which, I may say, I have any particular interest. Not content with depriving private Members of all their rights, the Chief Patronage Secretary again and again moves the Adjournment of the House at this hour, and takes away this last opportunity of bringing forward Measures for the good of the community. [Interruption.] Why should he not allow one or two of these Bills to be debated? No harm would be done, and some good might result. At any rate, the Government are doing very little good with their official programme, and it would give an opportunity to their unofficial supporters to see if they can do anything.
§ Adjourned accordingly at a Quarter before Eleven o'Clock.
