§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask the Lord President of the Council to tell us how far he proposes to go with business tonight if his Motion relating to business is carried?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe Eleven o'Clock Rule is being suspended to make sure of obtaining the Committee stage of the two Financial Resolutions which are on the Paper. So far as the progress of the Finance Bill is concerned, what we hope to do is to obtain Clauses 1 to 6 and the Committee stage of the two Financial Resolutions in such time as will allow the Report stage of the co-operative societies Resolution to be started about 9 o'clock. The Report stage of the Money Resolution relating to the Metropolitan Police and the Education (Necessity of Schools) Bill will also be taken to-night. I think there is no controversy about those.
§ Mr. LANSBURYAs to the Metropolitan Police Money Resolution, I think the Patronage Secretary will remember that I told him last night we should like a little time for it, and we can hardly get through the co-operative Resolution much before half-past 11, if we get to it by 9 o'clock. I should like to ask him at least to postpone the Report stage of the Police Money Resolution till another night.
§ Mr. BALDWINI am quite willing to consider the point, provided, of course, that we get satisfactory progress and that we can complete the rest of the business not too late.
§ Mr. LANSBURYWe do not want to be too late.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
