§ LORD PONSONBY OF SHULBREDEMay I ask the noble Viscount if he can state what will be the business tomorrow?
§ VISCOUNT HAILSHAMWe are taking to-morrow the Committee stage of the Children and Young Persons Bill. A considerable number of Amendments have already been put down to that Bill. Some of them, I think, ought not to take long, and I hope we may be able to dispose of the Committee stage to-morrow afternoon. I should be sorry if that 683 did not happen, because there is a good deal of business before your Lordships next week and it is not a very convenient week for all of your Lordships to be in London. If we can dispose of the Committee stage, and give adequate consideration of the Amendments to-morrow, I think it would be for the general convenience. If, unfortunately, that should prove to be impracticable, I think we might meet on Monday to continue the Committee stage of the Bill.
§ LORD PONSONBY OF SHULBREDEWould it be possible to start the sitting at an earlier hour to-morrow?
§ VISCOUNT HAILSHAMI am obliged to the noble Lord for his suggestion, but I am afraid that judicial business renders that impossible.
§ House adjourned at ten minutes past six o'clock.
