§ Mr. CLYNESI beg to ask the Prime Minister what is to be the business for next week, and, in relation to the Motion on the Paper for the suspension of the 635 Eleven o'Clock Rule, would the right hon. Gentleman state what business he intends to dispose of to-night?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI will answer the second question first. The first part of the Motion was necessary because we had to take a Supply day for the Consolidated Fund Bill, and we are suspending the Eleven o'Clock Rule so that we may secure the Lords Amendments to the British Sugar (Subsidy) Bill. We propose to take no other business to-day besides the Consolidated Fund Bill.
The business for next week will be:
Monday, Administration of Justice Bill [Lords], Second Reading. Roads Improvement Bill, Second Reading. Valuation (Metropolis) Bill, Report and Third Reading. Northern Ireland Land Bill, Report and Third Reading. Imperial Institute (Money), Committee; and, if time permit, other Orders on the Paper.
§ Tuesday, British Empire Exhibition (Guarantee) Bill, Second Reading. Forestry Bill, Second Reading. Agricultural Returns Bill, Report and Third Reading. Importation of Pedigree Animals Bill, Report and Third Reading Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill, Second Reading. At 3.15 p.m., Private Members' Motions.
§ Wednesday, Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill, remaining stages. At 8.15 p.m., Private Members' Motions.
§ Thursday, we shall move Mr. Speaker cut of the Chair on Civil Service Estimates, and consider Class 1, Votes 8, 10, 9, 6, 7 and 4 in Committee.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That other Government Business have precedence this day of the Business of Supply, and that the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
