If, in a Committee of the (whole) House of Commons, a debate be not finished, or matters referred to it not fully considered, the Chairman "is directed to report progress, and ask leave to sit again." In the Lords, when any peer moves that the House be "resumed," the Chairman of Committees moves that "the House be in Committee on a future day."
