SITTNGS OF THE HOUSE.
THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY: My Lords, perhaps the noble Marquess could tell your Lordships when he proposes that the House should adjourn for the Whitsun holidays, and for how long?
THE PRIME MINISTER AND SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (The Marquess of SALISBURY): I have been anxious to ascertain what would be most convenient for Private Business, which is the more deeply concerned, and I think that if we adjourn on the Thursday before Whitsunday and meet again on the Monday week that would suit the convenience of business.
House adjourned at a quarter before Five o'clock.
