HL Deb 13 December 1973 vol 347 c1275
EARL ST. ALDWYN

My Lords, with the leave of the House, my noble friend the Leader of the House will be making a Statement on energy supplies at a convenient moment after 3.30.

Last week I announced that the House would return from the Christmas Recess on Tuesday, January 22. In view of the present situation, it has been decided that the House should return on Tuesday, January 15. I am sure that noble Lords will appreciate that it may also be necessary to ask the House to return at an even earlier date.
