Mr. BALDWIN

May I ask what will be the business for next week?

Mr. CLYNES

On Monday, the Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Bill, and Poor Law Emergency Provisions Continuance (Scotland) Bill—Report and Third Reading; Supplementary Estimate for the League of Nations, in Committee of Supply; Friendly Societies Bill, Second Reading; Report stage of Budget Resolutions.

Tuesday: Motion on New Import Duties, by the right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the Opposition.

Wednesday: British Empire Exhibition (Guarantee)—Money Resolution in Committee of the Whole House; War Charges (Validity) (No. 2) Bill, Committee.

Thursday: Supply—Home Office Vote.

Major Sir ARCHIBALD SINCLAIR

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Motion on Tuesday is a Vote of Censure—whether the Opposition stick to their guns?

Mr. CLYNES

Although the Motion is not cast in the customary terms, the Government do regard it as a Vote of Censure.

Mr. FOOT

Should I be in order in asking at what time the Government intend introducing the Administration of Justice Bill, having regard to the fact that, until this Bill has been dealt with ill this House, the work of the Supreme Court is held up?

Mr. CLYNES

I cannot make a definite statement on that matter, but will look into it.
