§ Baroness LLEWELYN-DAVIES of HASTOEMy Lords, may I now, with the leave of the House, announce the dates of the Christmas Recess? Subject to the progress of business, the House will rise for the Recess on Thursday, 19th December, and resume on Tuesday, 21st January 1975. For the convenience of your Lordships, the House will meet at 11 o'clock in the morning of Thursday, 19th December.
§ Lord BOOTHBYMy Lords, may I ask the noble Baroness, Lady Llewelyn-Davies of Hastoe, whether she thinks this leave for Christmas is grossly excessive in view of the crisis that we are now undergoing?
§ Baroness LLEWELYN-DAVIES of HASTOEMy Lords, Her Majesty's Government are always aware of any kind of emergency that may arise. I feel certain that your Lordships would concur if we thought it necessary to recall the House at an earlier date.
