HL Deb 02 August 1923 vol 54 c1522

THE MARQUESS CURZON OF KEDLESTON had given notice to move to resolve, That this House on its adjournment do adjourn to 13th November, except for Judicial Business, but that if it appears to the satisfaction of the Lord Chancellor that the public interest requires that the House should meet at any earlier time during such adjournment, the Lord Chancellor may give notice to (he Peers that he is so satisfied, and thereupon the House shall meet at the time stated in such Notice, and shall transact its business as if it had been duly adjourned to that date.

THE LORD PRESIDENT OR THE COUNCIL (THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY)

My Lords, with reference to the Motion standing in the name of the noble Marquess the Leader of the House for summoning your Lordships' House if necessary during the Recess, it has been found that there is an Act of Parliament in the reign of George III, under which, with six days' notice, this can be done, and, therefore, the Government have decided not to move the Motion.
