§ THE MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNEMy Lords, it is understood that the Prime Minister will make a statement of great importance in the House of Commons at noon to-morrow. I therefore venture to ask the noble Earl who leads the House whether a similar statement will be made in this House, and, if so, at what time.
§ THE LORD PRIVY SEAL AND SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (THE EARL OF CREWE)My Lords, in reply to the question of the noble Marquess, I propose, with the consent of your Lordships, that the House should meet so that the statement may be made here at the same time as the Prime Minister makes it in another place.
