§ Mr. S. BALDWINMay I ask the Prime Minister if he will tell us the Business for next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, Supply, 15th Allotted Day.
§ Tuesday; Unemployment Insurance (No. 3) Bill, further stages; Consumers' Council, Money Resolution, Committee.
§ Wednesday; Supply, 16th Allotted Day; Consumers' Council, Money Resolution, Report.
§ Thursday; Supply, 17th Allotted Day.
§ The Business for Friday will be announced later.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYIs it not possible for Members to know what Votes are going to be put down? Cannot the Opposition make up its mind what Votes it wants to discuss so that we may know?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday it will be the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, but I understand it is the desire of hon. Members opposite to treat this as formal, and to put down a Motion on the subject of agriculture in order to provide a wider scope for debate than would be possible in Committee of Supply.
§ Mr. SCOTTWhen is it intended to take the Lords Amendments to the Small Landholders and Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThese are all under consideration. We shall make an announcement when the dates are fixed.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYA number of us have to attend Committees, and we try to get days to suit the convenience of the House. Is it really impossible to know what Votes will be put down on Wednesday?
§ Mr. BALDWINThis is the first notice we have had that there are to be three Supply days next week. The only Supply day we knew of was Monday, and we have stated the subject. May I ask the Prime Minister whether he can state the date when the House will resume in October, or whether he would like a question put down on late later day?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI shall make a statement to the House at the very earliest moment in relation to that, but a little depends on how far we progress with business before we adjourn. I will
§ tell the right hon. Gentleman when I am in a position to announce the precise date.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That this day, notwithstanding anything in Standing Order No. 15, Business other than the Business of Supply may be taken before Eleven of the clock, and that the Proceedings on the Housing (Rural Authorities) Bill and the British Sugar Industry (Assistance) Bill be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
