§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (the Earl of HALSBURY)My Lords, I have to make a Motion of an unusual character, which is that the House at its rising do meet tomorrow at 4.15. The ground for making that Motion and asking your Lordships to assent to it is that it is confidently anticipated that His Majesty will send a Message to his Parliament tomorrow, and it is thought desirable that your Lordships should be in attendance to receive His Majesty's gracious Message.
§ EARL SPENCERI do not know whether the noble Earl on the Woolsack can give us any idea whether there is likely to be any discussion on the Message. It might be a merely formal Message, or one concerning which we might have to give notice of Motion on some future day, and it would be for the convenience of some noble Lords, who might have arranged to be elsewhere, to know.
§ THE EARL OF HALSBURYI am hardly in a position to answer that question. I have no doubt that if there were an expression of opinion that the Message required to be discussed your Lordships would agree to adjourn the debate.
§ House adjourned at Twenty Minutes before Seven o'clock, till Tomorrow, a quarter-past Four o'clock.
