HC Deb 29 April 1926 vol 194 cc2204-7
Mr. SNOWDEN

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he can state the business for next week?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Commander Eyres Monsell)

Monday and Tuesday: Report stage of the Budget Resolutions.

Wednesday, until 8.15, discussion of the Motion standing in the name of the right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the Opposition relating to the Chairman of Ways and Means, and consideration of the proposed Amendment to Standing Order 28; Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Bill, Report Third Reading; Secretaries of State Bill, Second Reading; Execution of Diligence (Scotland) Bill [Lords], Second Reading; and, if time permit, other Orders on the Paper.

Thursday: We shall conclude the Report stage of the Budget Resolutions, and, if time permit, consider other Orders on the Paper.

Mr. SNOWDEN

Is it intended to suspend the Eleven o'clock Rule on Monday and Tuesday?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

Yes; I think we shall have to suspend the Eleven o'clock Rule as a safeguard, but I hope it may not be necessary to sit late.

Mr. BUCHANAN

I see there is a Motion down for the suspension of the Eleven o ' Clock Rule to-night. Is it the intention to take any Bills to-night?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

No, Sir; that is only to safeguard the Building Votes on the Civil Service Estimates. The House knows that if we get those Votes, we effect economies in building operations.

Mr. HURD

; May I ask whether it was not intended to take the Merchandise Marks Bill on Monday?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

Until Thursday, no programme is given. I had hoped that we might have taken the Merchandise Marks Bill next week, but the Opposition demanded more time for the discussion of the Budget Resolutions.

Motion made, and Question put, That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[Sir William Joynson-Hicks.]

The House divided: Ayes, 234; Noes, 87.
