§ Mr. ATTLEEMay I ask the Prime Minister for what reason he is moving to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule tonight?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThis is, I hope and believe, only a precautionary measure. We are anxious to get the Report stage of the Education Bill completed. If the Report stage should take a much less time—and I hope it may finish in good time—we should move the Third Reading of the Bill.
§
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, 269; Noes, 117.
