HL Deb 19 August 1886 vol 308 c22
EARL GEANVILLE

I wish to ask the noble Marquess opposite (the Prime Minister), seeing that there is no doubt whatever that the Address will be carried by your Lordships this evening, what the Government proposes to do with regard to the future Business of this House?

THE PRIME MINISTER (The Marquess of SALISBURY)

My impression is that there will be no Business coming up from the House of Commons within the next 10 days. I do not think, therefore, that any useful purpose will be served by forcing noble Lords to come here when there is no Business to transact; and I should, unless the noble Earl objects, propose to move that the House, at its rising, do adjourn till Monday week.
