HL Deb 28 September 1938 vol 110 c1293
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (EARL STANHOPE)

My Lords, as your Lordships are aware there are no Orders of the day or Notices. In moving that the House do now adjourn, I propose that the House meet to-morrow at three o'clock, and if a large number of your Lordships desire to speak, I suggest that we should adjourn for dinner and meet again afterwards.

VISCOUNT CECIL OF CHELWOOD

My Lords, could my noble friend tell me what procedure is proposed for tomorrow? Will the Government present a Motion, or will the discussion be on the Adjournment? Might I ask also whether the Foreign Secretary will begin by making a statement, or not?

EARL STANHOPE

My Lords, I must apologise to the House for not having anticipated the queries which my noble friend opposite has made. It is proposed that a question be asked by a representative of the Opposition, and then my noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will proceed forthwith to make a statement. After that, of course, your Lordships will no doubt wish to debate it. I beg to move, That the House do now adjourn.

Moved, accordingly, and, on Question, Motion agreed to.

House adjourned at twenty-five minutes past four o'clock.
