§ LORD KNUTSFORDMay I ask the the noble Earl opposite whether he can give us any information about the holidays?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (The Earl of KIMBERLEY)I think that the most convenient course will be that, for all practical purposes, the House should adjourn to-morrow week for three weeks. It will, however, be necessary that the House meet once during that interval for the purpose of expressing Her Majesty's approval of the new Speaker; but the House would on that occasion, only meet for that formal purpose. For all practical purposes, therefore, it is proposed that this House should adjourn to-morrow week for three weeks.
