§ Mr. CrookshankIt may be for the convenience of the House if I state that the Government hope that it will be possible to dispose of all necessary and urgent business in time to adjourn on Friday, 7th December, and we shall propose that the House do meet again after Christmas on Tuesday, 29th January.
As the House is aware, arrangements already exist for the House to be recalled to meet at an earlier date should the public interest so require.
§ Mr. C. R. AttleeThe right hon. Gentleman will realise that we are not acquiescing in these dates, but, as the matter is to be debated fully tomorrow, I do not press the question on this statement.
§ Mr. CrookshankNo, but I thought it would be convenient for the House to know what was likely to happen.
§ Sir Herbert WilliamsWould it not also be of interest to note that on 2nd August we adjourned for 10 weeks?
