HL Deb 19 July 1938 vol 110 cc955-6
LORD SNELL

My Lords, I beg to ask the noble Earl, the Leader of the House, if he has any statement to make about future business.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (EARL STANHOPE)

My Lords, I am much obliged to the noble Lord. I suggest that this House should meet tomorrow at the usual time of a quarter to four, and that we should meet at the same time, 3.45 p.m., on Thursday. As your Lordships know, there is a meeting of the House of Lords Offices Committee at three o'clock, and therefore it is impossible to meet at that hour. I understand that the Committee will get through its business by about half past three, or thereabouts, and I suggest that the House should therefore meet at a quarter to four. I might perhaps also give notice that I propose to put down a Motion to-morrow giving precedence to Government business on and after Thursday next, which I think is the usual course taken at this time of the Session, before we disperse for the holidays.
