HL Deb 17 August 1917 vol 26 c617
THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (EARL CURZON OF KEDLESTON)

My Lords, I beg to move that Standing Order No. XXXIX be considered in order to its being suspended for the remainder of the sittings of the House before the recess. This is a step which is usually taken at this period of the session in order to enable the remaining stages of Bills to be got through before the House rises.

Moved accordingly, and, on Question, Motion agreed to.
