§ Mr. ATTLEEMay I ask the Prime Minister what Votes he proposes to take on Thursday; and also what business he proposes to take to-day, in the event of the Motion which stands in his name on the Order Paper being carried?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Thursday, which, as I have already announced, will be a Supply day, the Board of Trade Vote will be taken. With regard to the business for to-day, we hope to get the Committee stage of the Money Resolution standing in the name of the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, and the first six Orders on the Paper.
§ Mr. ATTLEEMay I take it that the right hon. Gentleman does not intend to ask the House to sit very late to-night?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI hope it will not be necessary; it is not at present in my mind. I would point out that, while six Orders sounds a great deal, half of them are entirely non-contentious, and, I think, purely formal.
§
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)."—[The Prime Minister.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 204; Noes, 39.
