§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how far he proposes to go if the Motion to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule is carried, and also what will be the business next week.
Mr. CHAMBERLAINMonday, the London Passenger Transport Bill, Committee.
The business to be taken on Tuesday and on Thursday of next week depends largely on the progress made to-day with the London Passenger Transport Bill. If the right hon. Gentleman will be good enough to put a question to me tomorrow, I hope to be in a better position to give him a reply as to the business for the remainder of next week.
Private Members' Motions will be taken on Wednesday and Private Members' Bills on Friday.
As to the business to-night, the Government hope it will be possible to make good progress. It is not intended to keep the House unduly late, and the suspension of the Eleven o' Clock Rule is only moved to give time for rounding off the Debate on any particular Amendment which may be under discussion at the time.
§ Mr. BUCHANANCan the right hon. Gentleman name any date for the introduction of the Rent Restrictions Bill, and can he say how much time will be allowed for it. Will it occupy one day, or two?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI cannot give a date yet, but it is hoped to take the Second Reading before Christmas. I am not yet in a position to say whether one or two days will suffice.
§ Mr. THORNEDoes not the right hon. Gentleman recognise that the main opposition to the Transport Bill comes from his own party?
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on the London Passenger Transport (re-committed) Bill be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from
987
the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[Mr. Chamberlain.]
