§ EARL SPENCERMy Lords, it would be convenient if the noble Marquess the Leader of the House could inform us what arrangements he proposes to make for the Whitsuntide holidays.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (The Marquess of LANSDOWNE)My Lords, the noble Earl has allowed me to discuss this matter privately with him, and I have consulted other Members of the House. I propose that we should sit until the Friday before Whit Sunday, that the business of the House should be interrupted for a fortnight, which is, I believe, the usual time, and that we should reassemble on Monday, June 26th.
