§ THE MARQUESS CURZON OF KEDLESTON:My Lords, I should like to ask the Lord Chancellor whether it would not be desirable to adjourn at this stage. We have to consider now the action taken by the House of Commons with regard to the Agricultural Wages Bill, and I am sure the Lord Chancellor will agree that it 485 is desirable that we should have time to make ourselves acquainted with the Amendments we are now about to discuss.
