HL Deb 05 May 1921 vol 45 c202
THE MARQUESS OF CREWE

My Lords, may I ask the noble Earl who leads the House whether he has any statement to make regarding the general business of the House?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIR'S (EARL CURZON OF KEDLESTON)

My Lords, it does not appear that we have very much business before us next week, so far as the Motions or Bills now on the Paper extend, and I see no reason why we should not be able to adjourn on Thursday next. If that be so, I should hope the vacation may extend until Tuesday of the week but one after—that is, until Tuesday, May 24—and therefore, unless anything intervenes to interfere with those plans, I should hope to be in a position to move on Thursday next that we adjourn for that period.

THE MARQUESS OF CREWE

I think the statement which the noble Earl has just made will be received with satisfaction by the House.
