§ Colonel GRETTONasked the Prime Minister if he intends to move the suspension of the 11 o'clock rule frequently or continually during the 2827W remainder of the Session; if so, having regard to the strain imposed upon Members, particularly those who have to attend Committees upstairs in the morning, by irregular and frequently very late hours, whether he will consider, as an alternative, moving to appoint for the rising of the House some regular hour later than 11 o'clock; and if he will consider whether a regular rising of the House at 12 midnight or 12.15 would meet the exigencies of the case?
§ Mr. A. CHAMBERLAINThe suspension of the 11 o'clock rule is unfortunately often necessary during the latter part of a session, but the Government have no desire to ask the House to sit late more often than the condition of business demands.
