§ Mr. STANLEY BALDWINWill the Prime Minister tell us the business for next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will make his Budget statement.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be available for business arising out of that statement.
Friday will be a day for private Members' Bills.
§ Mr. BALDWINThe right hon. Gentleman will doubtless have in mind that the usual phrase relating to business on the day succeeding the opening of the Budget is "Consideration of the Budget Resolutions." I notice he says: "The day will be available for business arising out of the statement." Is there anything he can tell the House as to what is meant by "arising out of"?
§ The PRIME MINISTERSomething may arise out of the statement to be made on Monday which will require some action on the part of the House. I assure the House that they need not be at all
§ alarmed about it, but, until the statement is made, if I said anything about it it would be in the nature of a revelation of the Budget. I want to assure the House that it is nothing that is going to be of any importance or that need give rise to concern.
§ Mr. BALDWINI might perhaps ask one more question. I gather, whatever the mystery may be, discussion of it will take place in all probability on Thursday.
§ The PRIME MINISTERAs soon as the statement has been made, if it is necessary to do anything in consequence of it, I will answer a question if it is put to me.
§ Mr. TINKERHas the right hon. Gentleman decided when he will give a day for the further stages of the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Pensions (Contributory) Bill, which passed its Second Reading last week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, I cannot give a date for that, but my hon. Friend can be assured that it will be all right.
§ Mr. McSHANECan the Prime Minister assure the House that the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself will make the Budget statement?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That other Government Business have precedence this day of the Business of Supply, and that the Proceedings on London Passenger Transport [Money] be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
