§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister whether, in the event of the Motion to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule being carried, it is proposed to ask the House to sit very late to-night?
§ The Prime MinisterI think that to-day we should try to reach Clause 18 of the Coal Bill. I do not think that any important points of principle are involved in any of the Clauses concerned, and I hope we shall try to reach this without sitting later than midnight.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on the Coal Bill 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, 241; Noes, 121.
