§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask the Lord President of the Council, in the event of
§ the Motion on the Paper being carried, how far he intends to go to-night?
§ Mr. BALDWINWe hope to get the first two Orders, but it is not our intention to ask the House to sit late.
§ Mr. LANSBURYI would like to point out that the second Order is a very important and contentious one, and I think that we should not start it at a, late hour.
§ Mr. BALDWINNo. I expressed my hope. If the second Order should prove too contentious, we shall certainly not ask the House to sit late to discuss it.
§ Mr. MAXTONDoes the right hon. Gentleman expect to get the first Order before Eleven o'clock?
§ Mr. BALDWINOh, yes, I quite expect to.
§ 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)."—[Captain Margesson.]
§ The House divided, Ayes, 290; Noes, 37.
