§ THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (LORD PARMOOR)My Lords, in another place in answer to a question from Mr. Baldwin, it was indicated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was leading the House, that on the adjournment it would be necessary to pass what I might call the ordinary temporary Motion, so that should it be necessary to call the House together before the date fixed for the re-assembly after the adjournment it can be summoned in the ordinary way. I will read to your Lordships the ordinary form in this House, which I will move when I move the adjournment of the House:
That this House on its adjournment do adjourn to"—the day fixed, whatever that may be—but 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 the 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.All the ordinary formal notices will be given in case of necessity, so that your Lordships will have complete intimation that the House is to meet before the time fixed when we adjourn. I will put it down to move formally on Friday.
