HL Deb 24 April 1893 vol 11 cc1009-10
THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

My Lords, there is some Business to-morrow, I understand, for the Standing Committee, and I therefore beg leave to move—"That the Evening Sitting of the House do commence to-morrow at half-past five o'clock."

*LORD BALFOUR

May I ask whether that is to be the only Business for to-morrow or not? I think the procedure informer Sessions was that on Tuesdays the House always met at half-past 5.

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

There is so little Business to be done at present that we thought that would not be necessary at present.

LORD BALFOUR

I did not understand whether it was intended. I thought it might, perhaps, be an over-sight.

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

We may, no doubt, have to move it later for every Tuesday. Due Notice will be given when the Sittings on subsequent Tuesdays will begin at that hour; but it does not seem to be necessary now.

Motion agreed to.
