§ Mr. TREVELYANCan the Chancellor of the Exchequer say what will be the business when the House reassembles?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLWhen the House resumes its sittings on Tuesday, 8th November, we shall begin with a Motion to take the whole time of the House for Government business in the Autumn Session. Then will follow the Report and Third Reading of the Landlord and Tenant (No. 2) Bill.
On Wednesday, the 9th, we shall take the Second Reading of the Unemployment Insurance Bill and the Committee 1466 Stage of the necessary Money Resolution. That will continue on Thursday, the 10th.
The business for Friday will be announced later.
On each day, if time permits, other Orders will be taken.
§ Mr. TREVELYANIn view of the fact that the Unemployment Insurance Bill is going to be taken on the second day, can the right hon. Gentleman assure us that it will be printed very soon?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAs I said yesterday, the Government have undertaken that it shall be printed and circulated in ample time to allow Members to study it before we meet again in the autumn.
§ Mr. HARRISWhat procedure is it proposed to follow in the matter of the Lords Amendments to the Trade Unions Bill if there is no agreement? Will the Bill be dropped, or postponed to November?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIn no circumstance will the Bill be dropped. It is impossible to forecast at this stage what treatment should be given to the matter in the event of a regrettable difference between the two Houses, but I hope with patience and tact the difficulties will be surmounted.
§ Mr. T. WILLIAMSDoes the right hon. Gentleman's original answer imply that copies of the Bill and of the actuarial statement will be circulated by post to all Members of the House?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe ordinary method of circulating Parliamentary Papers when the House is not sitting always works satisfactorily. The Government will certainly see that facilities are given to the full to secure that every Member shall have the information.
§ Mr. STEPHENIn view of the importance of the Unemployment Insurance Bill, will the right hon. Gentleman consider giving Friday as well to the Second Reading?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLWe are already looking a very long way ahead. I think it will be better to see what the position is when we meet.
§ Mr. BUCHANANMay we take it that the question of giving Friday is not definitely ruled out?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI think the whole tenour of my answer indicates that.
§ Mr. KIRKWOODWith regard to the Landlord and Tenant (No. 2) Bill which is going to be taken in the autumn, I would like to ask the right hon. Gentleman whether it is going to be in the interests of the landlords or of the tenants?
§ Mr. SPEAKEROpinions differ on that point.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That other Government Business have precedence this day of the Business of Supply, and that the Proceedings on other Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of life House)."—[Mr. Churchill.]
