§ 4.39 p.m.
LORD STRABOLGIMy Lords, on behalf of my noble friend Lord Addison, may I ask the noble Viscount the Leader of the House if he is able to make a statement on next week's business?
§ VISCOUNT CALDECOTEMy Lords, for Tuesday there is no business or the Paper except of a formal nature, but on Wednesday there will be an important debate on the food situation upon the Motion of the noble Viscount, Lord Samuel. It is proposed that on Thursday there shall be a debate in Secret Session on a statement upon home defence. My noble and learned friend on the Woolsack has been good enough to make arrangements with regard to legal sittings which will enable your Lordships to meet at three o'clock on Thursday.
§ House adjourned during pleasure.
§ House resumed.
