THE EARL OF ROSEBERY

Will it be convenient to the Prime Minister to make a statement as to the holidays?

THE PRIME MINISTER (The Marquess of SALISBURY)

The difficulty in our way was not knowing what Bills were likely to come from the House of Commons. There were one or two Bills connected with the War Office which we did entertain a hope might become law before Easter. That hope having disappeared, I can now state that the House will rise on Friday next, and, I suppose, it will meet again on the 21st of April.

House adjourned at ten minutes past Five o'clock, till To-morrow, a quarter past Ten o'clock.
